A 3 1/2 revolution helix can be done like so: g0 x0 y0 z0 g17 g3 y2 z-4 p4 j1 f100
I think another way to state what is required is that the P-number is the ceiling (rounded up) of the possibly-fractional number of turns. In gcode this could be expressed as P[FUP[4.553186]], or you could round up in your post. Hopefully someone can come up with a clear wording for the documentation.
