In an effort to construct a loop with very fine wire, I glued down
25-conductor flat computer cable about a wooden hoop then laid the
wire down in the spacing between each of the comp cable wires. Nice
and neat; evenly spaced. But is there a problem with having this
layer of discrete wires positioned about the coils of the loop?

This will mess up the loop. Why don't you just use the wires in the
computer ribbon cable itself by connecting the end of the previous turn
with beginning of the next.

Another solution is to not use the computer ribbon cable just the wire.
The wire can be neatly positioned on the wood frame by cutting equal
spaced groves in it front to back that the wire can fit into.
