I suppose that any number of twists would be OK, but the more twists, the less efficient ?

Is that what you are saying ? Or are there other constraints on the number of twists (e.g. must be odd, ...)

Yes I was referring to odd. But I've been reading some papers and I think even 4-fold had the mobius effect. I'll comment here again tomorrow when I have learned a bit more on the topic.
