(somewhere there is a table of the optimum number/size of radials for a given length of wire).

If the radials are on the ground, a large number of short ones is better than a few long ones.

Here it is: <http://www.ncjweb.com/k3lcmaxgainradials.pdf>

They recommend fewer radials than I did. For average soil, they recommend using 9 radials of 14 feet each. I suspect that -- since your vertical is so short, it might be advantageous to have more and shorter ones.
