Hi, i am going to wind a toroid inductor for the first time.

Info:
Core type MPP
OD 39.90 mm
ID 24.1 mm
HT 14.5 mm
AL value: 740 +/- 8% (nH)
MPP Permeability: 550 (μ)
Wire gauge: 34 AWG

20m wire + 1m wire for taps = 21m

16 KHz - 29.9 mH 195 turns
10 kHz - 31.4 mH add 5 turns
8 kHz - 48.2 mH add 48 turns
5 kHz - 67.5 mH add 45 turns
4 kHz - 87.9 mH add 41 turns
3 kHz - 156 mH add 111 turns

Would it be best to cut the taps so i can measure each tap to get a more precise mH, or should i use a continuous length of wire for all 6 taps?

Also should all the turns be winded all around the core from start to end (guess not) or should i keep the turns uniform right next to each other?

Here a a picture of the schematic

Help is much appreciated!

Best regards.
