I've tried manipulating my twin lead cable into that configuration, to

I leave it twisted like that, it may have genetic ramifications.

For parallel lines it's diameter v distance. Common zip cord is ca. 75
Ohms.

Now, I've always been led to believe that a ratio is a unit less
quantity. I get the feeling that some length of cable is needed here to
get an ohmic value. Perhaps something approaching infinity?
