In other words would the level of charge that a tubular toroid supports be

Yes, the toroid will perform much the same as a conventional toroid in terms
of capacitance.  A toroid made from rings will have a slightly lower
standoff voltage; however, the more rings you use the less this is an
issue.

I believe Greg Leyh used this construction method long before solid state
coilers started using it.  e.g.  Electrum, 40kW Experimental coil.
