So you think adding turns to a coil is a nice linear process that

number of turns in each subsection?

That appears to me to be the most valid measurement that we
can make of the delay through a coil. If you have a better
way, please present it.

C'mon, you know as well as anybody that inductance of a coil tends to
increase as n-squared. Yes, there are all kinds of special cases and
correction factors.

Increasing the length of a coil or transmission line doesn't
change its velocity factor at a fixed frequency.

Adding turns and then pretending everything is nice and linear, thereby
allowing decomposition into subcomponents, is just plain silly.

Velocity factor is *nice* and linear, i.e. it is constant.

Please stop these diversions. I'm sure you are not that ignorant.
