Wasn't one of the supposed selling points of the rotary the ability to make it as long as was needed?
Just keep adding rotary sections till the needed power was achieved.

Power was not an issue, IIRC.

Never thought about it much but building a rotary Pacer would indeed be a cool project bringing it back to it's beginnings!
