About the 320 units sharing cap banks: AFAIK, the positioning (connector length etc.) to each core from its caps is critical. That would seem to me to rule out any “sharing”. That is, I don’t think it’s going to be possible to “gang” operate multiple FF’s as though they were a single unit, all firing simultaneously. In clusters, each is going to have to be a stand-alone complete operating entity, sharing current output and possibly thermal waste handling capacity, but not much else. IMO.

I don’t know if the lengths are that critical but if it turns out
that way at initial production then at least the dual inline core should still work… if a radial setup is still required then have the cap bank in a ring equidistant between the cores with the business ends of the caps facing inwards (or outwards depending on the engineering.)

That way both cores should see the same cap bank with the same connector environment… I think… 😉
They’d still have to co-ordinate firing and recharging, etc. I think you just invoked an exponential nightmare.
