I can imagine a geometry in which increasing a gap reduces leakage

What would that be? Leakage inductance is caused by flux that doesn't go
through all windings. How could any form of air gap keep more flux inside
the windings?

Your question practically answers itself.


Is that then a recursive loop, or an eddy current?

Oh... that's right... it's a TardCurrent wave.


That's much more simple, but obviously you can't see it.


The "recursive loop" remark was about the "question practically
answers itself" comment, having nothing at all to do with the subject
of the discussion. The "eddy current" remark was the closest thing I
could think of trying to be funny about the "practically answers
itself" remark, also not having anything to do with the topic.

You analytical types are too stiff lipped to get humor.
