If I understand correctly, I don't think it was a minimum segment
issue. I used the same cables when I moved them apart as when they
were close together, so the segment length didn't change. I'm almost
sure it was an interference issue.

After reading your article and I wonder... is it possible that the
problem is partly due to short distances in your ethernet segments?
The fact that you moved them away physically could indicate an
interference problem, but you also lengthened your cables I imagine.
Just as there is a maximum segment length of 100 meters, so there is a
minimum length of 2.5 meters between nodes. Now, this is minimum segment
length (between nodes), not necessarily minimum cable length.
Any chance you can redo your experiment with all the equipment as it was
but with longer cables until you reach the minimum segment length (maybe
slightly more)?
Just curious...
