Hi Paul,
I would expect higher losses due to proximity currents. Most primary's
have a good deal of spacing minimizing those currents, but if we were to
bundle everything together, those particular losses would certainly
increase. So in that respect, I think the single copper mass is more
efficient.
Take care,
Bart

I may be stabbing in the dark but i have a theory to share with you all
with my experience with high frequency power supplies and with skin
effect prevalent would it feasible to use multi-filar enamel wire for the
primary
that being said would it not be wise to use lets say around 10 - 12
strands of 0.8mm dia or whatever is needed to get same approximate copper
cross section required therefore the skin effect is reduced to a
percentage or each strand rather than a percentage of a single copper
mass
not sure if i explained it clearly but my 2c worth anyway
