I got the impression that it was a small generator, although you didn't 
specifically say so.
I do agree with what you say. Winding that much wire could also get a trifle 
tedious.

I would fit in about 4 oz of wire. Now all you have to do is work out what 
gauge that would be to fill the gap!

Oh Er that is not good.

I reckon on a back of a fag packet calculation I can get at least 5kg of
copper on the poles even allowing for gaps and less than perfect packing. I
think that is almost exactly 20 kilometres or 12.5 miles of 36swg.

Would someone else care to suggest something a tad thicker?
