Hi Phillip,
Well, you've seen firsthand what can be done with single large
diametered toroids in both the big coils of Cameron Prince and
myself ;^) There are a lot of variables to consider that would
make it nearly impossilbe to give you a definitive "yes or no"
answer to your question. The main advantage that many taught
with the double stack toroid design is the better E field protec-
tion for the reduction of primary/strike rail hits. I might could
personally reduce some of the strike rail hits from my Green
Monster coil by installing a smaller "bottom toroid" underneath
the large main unit, although it starts to become nearly impossible
to completely eliminate primary/strike rail hits at these power
levels with the physical size limitations that I am dealing with.

Does one obtain better results from a large toroid than stacked toroids?
In
other words, if I took two toploads of equal capacitance one being a
single
large diameter toroid, and the other being two stacked toroids, am I
likely
to get better performance from the large toroid, or the same from both?
