Re: flat sheet layout of helix?
Suggestion: change your team motto.
To quote an earlier post, good engineering often comes down to knowing the difference between "better" and "good enough."
You have a workable solution to one specific problem, a plethora of other potential problems waiting to be solved, and a finite amount of time and resources. Solve the problem you can with the solution at hand (laying out the helix as concentric circles with a slit), and move on.
