Well it looks like you have room for about twice as many turns on the
coils so you should be in petty good shape if you fill the winding
space.

The primary winding of an MOT occupies less than half the window
space so the easy solution is to simply install two ex MOT
primaries on each E core.
With all primaries parallel connected this doubles the ampere
turns which will make a substantial difference
