Default Capacitor sizes

More that the coiled up-ness of the big capacitor puts substantial
inductance in series with it.


DC Volts + Inductance ?

Not really an issue is it.

Also electrolytic capacitors have a
measurable internal resistance.


Yes, to a DC voltage a Capacitor has infinite resistance because it is
open circuit!

I presume the OP was querying strapping 3 capacitors of the same value
in parallel i.e. 3 x 22 uF instead of a single 66 uF cap.
