This sounds like the classic half wave coil (I think that's what it's
called) where the primary is in the center of the secondary and there is
no ground connection. I gather you plan to have the two secondaries
separated by a short distance. This would require that the two are wound
in the same direction so that they will be out of phase with each other
and their voltages will add. Having them connected at the base is
electrically equivalent to putting them together bottom to bottom.
