There is surely a limit for magnifiers' streamer
lenght saturation effect as BPS increase!
It depends on top load size,max output voltage
extra coil develops,and ,I think, waveform too.
I don't know  exact figures (nobody knows),but
systems below 100 kHz and 500 kV output 
are limited to about max 6 meters sparks.

The typical behaviour I've noticed with TC's are they have an "optimal"
break rate that if you exceed it, all you succeed in doing is burning
more power, with no net increase in spark length beyond the
optimum.  Based on our collective groups experience, a magnifier's
streamer length continues to grow based on BPS and power input
limitations only.
