Don't stress yourself Roger, there is only a volt or so difference between alternate turns, and the insulation on the wire is really excellent stuff. The thick winding will go on easily.  The circles within circles software assumes rigid perfect mathematically correct circles.   The very fine multistranded wire with thermoplastic insulation is quite soft and easily deformable. If you put it in a vice, you can squash it flat fairly easily. So where one turn touches another, the wire can deform slightly and the whole mess can be squeezed into a slightly smaller space than theoretically necessary. So if the software says it will fit, it will all fit on easily with space to spare for a big central mounting bolt.
