Note: coloring is just to split it up into quarters, and obviously wouldn't be possible with a higher fraction primitive.

Blue is 0 to 1/4, Green is 1/4 to 2/4, Cyan is 2/4 to 3/4, Red it 3/4 to 4/4.

Given that it is a helix, I could also see omitting the geometry that brings everything up to y=0.

   

My point, though, is that when I implement the primitive in LDView, I want to support the whole reasonable range. One could argue that 48/1-48 to 1-4 is the whole reasonable range, in which case I can have LDView only support that. But if it makes sense to ever go past 1-4, I want the primitive description to indicate what that is supposed to look like so that whenever further primitives are added, their geometry will match whatever LDView generates.
