The series gap probably improves firing--period. It's an old trick to put on a "jump spark" by separating the plug wire terminal from the plug terminal on cylinders that are prone to "skip". There was a spark plug manufacturer, "Aldor", I believe, who sold a plug with such a gap. I'm guessing that, over the years, a lot of tractors (and cars and trucks) burned after catching fire from leaking gasoline on a jump spark. One of my father's tractors did. Moral of story: It's probably not a bad idea if the gap is internal to the plug so as not to cause fire.
