I had a similar doubt recently. I was doing in grasshopper a building for a competition that had a sort of spiral form. I found it easier to do everything referencing the origin (0,0,0) and at the end of the definition merge all the geometry to one move component. You can probably do it in different ways, I guess it's still early for a grasshopper "best practices". In your case maybe you just need a move component at the beginning only for the points and everything should fit to its place, this will reduce the duplication of lines, but i'm not sure.
