Opinion: Since we are stretching rubber lengthwise and not widthwise, there is no difference in turns per inch to be had in thinner strips of equal lengths. The pro rubber testers have for decades treated the stretch ratio of rubber to be the same as turns per inch. For rubber to acquire "more winds", one would have to claim that 2 strands of 1/8" yields a different stretch ratio than 1 strand of 1/4".
