Yes, thank you.  I don't think that I can enforce a length reduction
formula based upon weather conditions & air pressure, but I probably ought
to collect some data stating the altitude where each coil was operated, and
consider that should that entry be tied in length and VA's with another entry.

Just a note: spark or streamer length depends on the conditions of the
air. Humidity makes a big difference, pressure (or altitude) too, and
also temperature. So, these things should be mentioned when claiming
spark lengths.
