[Elecraft] toroid winding concerns

All,
Last night I started winding toroids for K2 #5670. This amounts to my
first-ever attempts at winding toroids of any kind so I was a bit
apprehensive. So far it hasn't been bad at all. I do however have two
clarification questions for the group that I was not able to get a
warm fuzzy for by reading past posts to the list.
1. T5: I wound the 3-4 winding after the 8th turn of the 1-2 winding.
The pic on the elecraft site (vs. the incorrect pic in the manual) has
the 1-2 winding offset and wound after the 6th turn. Should I rewind
T5 or will my choice of where to start have little or no effect as
long as the number of turns and sense of the winding match?
2. RFC11: I wound this choke so that the leads match up with the holes
on the board. By doing so the windings only take up about 70% of the
core vs. the accepted 80-90%. Should I rewind?
Thanks!
