Chris,It's a very challenging design problem. And, the divider will be quite sensitive to changes in the surrounding E-field. Since TC sparks create shifting space charge regions with corresponding fluctuating E-fields in the surrounding air, accurate direct measurements can be done only if the Tesla coil is not actively creating streamers/leaders.
you might look at commercial products made from this: Not a lot of design info, but http://www.rossengineeringcorp.com/products/measurement/hv-voltage-dividers.html is an example.I'm sure there's stuff out there about designing a divider to work with the output of a Marx at megavolt levels - way above what a TC will put out.
