How flexible was the thick Ethernet cable? I'm having mental images of a
half meter diameter loop of cable, which would lose about 1.5 metres
from the maximum linear distance the cable could travel, and still
require a one metre linear gap between taps.

I recall we had loops of about 50cm diameter.

\pi x diameter = circumference, so each such loop added about 1.5m.
