In general comment to the topic, I have seen planar arrays ("mats") with some
number of randomly-situated wire splices in them.
These splices are in the gaps between bit arrays, not interior to a bit array (there
isn't enough space between cores).
The splices are covered in a tiny dollop of (by appearance) silicon putty for
insulation.
I have seen the same, and measured that these splices can turn highohmic. I
recovered an 8/L coremat by resoldering these splices.
