They’re all parallel..
One side of NST goes to the SSG then the 5M run to the MMC.
The other side of the NST goes to the other side of the SSG then the 5M run to the coil.
The coil is conical at approx. 25°

A rule of thumb is that it's 1 uH/meter. - you've got 10 meters of wire there. You won't get the full 1uH/meter, because the magnetic field of the two wires cancels to a certain extent.
