James,

A coil that is suitable for single ended drive "could" be used in a bipolar arrangement.  The old Cenco bipolar coils were built this way.

However, I think that you would be better off with a secondary with a gap in the center where the windings are in the "shadow" of the primary.

Secondary windings that fall within the windings of a typical cylindrical primary would not add any useful voltage to the output of the coil.

If you used a flat pancake primary, this effect would be minimized, but I can't ever recall seeing a bipolar coil with this sort of primary arrangement.
There is no problem with windings of the secondary coil inside the area covered by the primary coil. If there are more turns in the secondary than in the primary there is certainly a transformer action. Flat primaries are used just because they result in a better range of coupling coefficients and better insulation. I think that all the bipolar coils that I have seen use a cylindric primary coil and a continuous secondary coil. Tuning is different because the capacitive loading of the secondary coil is usually different, but this is a question of adjusting the sizes of the two terminals.
