If you run into design issues, you can series smaller inductors for the 
L you need. Each charging choke can be built of a series of smaller 
inductors dividing the voltage between them and adding the inductance.

There are companies that specialize in hv charging mods (flash lamps for 
lasers and other applications in charge pump configurations). But the 
price is beyond hobby funds I expect. 20 years ago, I worked for a 
company that used 3kV 1.5uF CSI hv pulse caps (40 caps per bank and each 
cap was big) running at 120 pps. The electronics used 10 charging 
inductor modules. These were open frame modules (2"H x 4"W x 6"L) and I 
believe something purchased off the shelf. Each charging inductor module 
was built of a series of smaller inductors mounted on a pcb (similar to 
SMPS topology I guess). So anyway, smaller inductors "may" be easier 
design the voltage, current, and inductance your looking for. The 
voltage will divide and maybe get the voltage down into reasonable 
territory.

Food for thought.

Take care,
Bart
