I imagine this is how most wiring is made simply to pack more in there.

It makes no difference. It doesn't matter what pattern the wire is in. All you are doing by changing the size of strands is changing the scale. In other words 1/2 is the same as 1000000/2000000, just on a different scale.
Anyways, if you want the ultimate in low resistance, single core wire is the way to go!
