Why not try the spiraling mode?
"PathTruder can also create springs, thanks to its -r option. Using -l option to split lines, each path file can be a single segment. The smaller the -l parameter, the finer the result will look - and the bigger resulting file will be! At the opposite to most uses, the shape must be at an angle with direction vector. If R is spring diameter, L the length of the spring, n the number of turns, the angle of shape plane with direction vector should be A = atan(n*2*PI*R/L).
