I am zeroing in on similar concept as CCFL transformers with

When there are a lot of turns, 3xFEP is not the way to
go. Too bulky. The three layers is basically a trick to
avoid creepage requirements for pri-sec safety. That's
not what you need here.

I sometimes use an autoflyback stage with a DRQ-series dual inductor,
followed by a c-w multiplier using sot-23 dual HV diodes. That's cheap
and easy, given a reasonable supply voltage, like 24.

You can also just buy a potted HV supply and move on to design
something else.

There are also potted c-w bricks, but they are a lot more expensive
than buying the diodes and caps.

Custom magnetics only makes sense at high volume, or for real exotica

I have almost never used standard magnetics. Most projects has

I'm about to embark on a custom tapped inductor and I'm not looking

samples, tests, released drawings, MOQs, all that.

I have 24VDC in, and 3.5kV peak pulse with 10% duty cycle at 100kHz. I
have a working circuit, but just a little too much loss due to the
transformer parasitics, so working to change the construction to get the
optimum transformer design
You could make 3.5KV DC, and then switch. There are high-voltage fets
around.
I have looked into that. I cannot find resonable valued transistors at
4kV, prices ranges above 20 USD per piece. But maybe I have not searched
in the right place.

On top of that, I need a positive pulse, 3.5kV, and also a negative
pulse (600V or so). The can be solved with a transformer.
Oh.
