99% of the time more than 1 layer is bad unless you go to extreme measures 
to insulate it (.125" thick layer of kapton film between layers/potting in 
SF6 or oil/etc) which most of the time just much cheaper to use a bigger 
coil form with 1 layer. As is I'm willing to bet that your coil will short 
itself out and maybe catch fire if the input power is decent.
