Mitchell,

A 12/30 NST can give about 38" of spark in a carefully built
coil using a synchronous rotary spark gap.  The sparks will
be a little shorter with a good static gap.  You can see my
TT-42 TC which is somewhat compact, uses a 12/30 NST,
and gives 42" sparks.  My NST is somewhat robust so
it does a little better than a standard one.  I simply used
10awg PVC insulated wire for the primary, and a 4" x 19"?
secondary.

There's other coiling information too at my website.
