One could of course make the transmission lines 3/4 wavelength long, and have plenty of length to wrap dozens of turns on however many cores spaced however frequently along the length of the cable.

Jim,

The problem is that, in that application, the cables must be 1/4 wave
long electrically.  That already makes them shorter than desired and
"wound" chokes on each end would shorten them by another 5-7 feet
making the spacing of the 4 square much too small.

What problem(s) are we attempting to solve with chokes on the 4-square
feedlines ?

Noise.
