I think WA2SRQ's advice is one-sided, because it fails to recognize the
benefit of bunching the cable together - namely that it moves the whole
resonance curve downward (due to the increased self-capacitance) without
needing to increase the length of cable. For someone who wants a
low-band choke, that is a Very Good Thing. The poorer performance at
higher frequencies is the obvious natural tradeoff for having moved the
whole resonance curve downward - but that doesn't make it a "poor design".

Ian, I forgot to congratulate you on making a purse
out of a sow's ear. Or is it a pig in a poke? :-)
