Radials

I have 250 feet of three strand house wire that I am going to cut into
radials for my vertical. I was going to cut a 20M/10M/5M and a
5M/10M/20M section out of the first 25M length to give me two 80M 1/4
radials, 2 40M 1/4 radials and 3 20M 1/4 radials. Can I leave them in
the original outer wrap so I have a bundle of three radials X 2 or should
I remove the outer cover and separate the radials. Also are there any
combinations of radials I should avoid or strive for? The antenna
covers the 80-40-20-15-10 M bands so I will be cutting other
combinations.

Thanks and I hope this makes sense.
