The Polyphaser book on grounding recommended that ground rods be spaced about twice the length of the rods (e.g., 16 feet spacing for 8 foot rods). Presumably that will help with the charge saturation during an event.

The reason for rod spacing is to minimize inductive coupling between them, which reduces their effectiveness.
