Well, it is being setup to work well with my solar hot water setup. So, I won't be feeding it super hot water temps. Thus the focus on efficiency and the close spacing.

With the parallel loops, it should act like the sum of the parallel lengths (because the flow rate is divided by the three legs). So in example 1 I have 345 feet of tubing, and in example 2 I have 430 feet of tubing. I just don't have the pressure drop penalty of the full length of the tubing.
