8-pole Stator Coil Orientation...Does it Matter???

Thank you for the info, people! 
So chihuahuas, if I understand you correctly, the relationships between the trigger pickup to the the flywheel and the flywheel to the coils of the stator are pretty much irrelevant when it comes to proper function of the system (creating spark and charging the battery)?
I've decided to post a picture or two for both clarification, as well as to ask another follow-up question.

In one picture you can see how the mounting bolt holes don't line up the same with the the coil orientation in the new stator as they did with the old one (btw, I salvaged the copper off the old stator). This is why none of the coils of the new stator points to the trigger like the old one did.
The other picture has to do with my follow-up questions: I don't know the proper terminology for what I'm referring to here, but hopefully what I can describe in the context of the picture will suffice. See how there is less metallic surface area on the ends of the coils of the newer stator (below) than those of the old stator (above)? Does this affect performance?
Also, the new stator's coils seem to be wrapped more sparsely with copper than were the older one's. Are there any downsides to that?
