There are two good reasons for using multiple cores. One is power 
handling. The other is to get enough L and C to move the resonance low 
enough to cover the frequency range of interest.  L increases as the 
square of the number of turns, C increases as the number of turns (not 
squared). Both lower the resonance. The impedance at resonance also 
increases with the number of turns -- not linear, not squared, because 
resonance is moving down. At any given frequency, the resistance coupled 
from the core DOES increase as the square of the number of turns.
