Good suggestion for this sort of rewind because if the turns numbers do not match the original, its much better that there are more of them, or the transformers low frequency response will be more limited. Even though the resistance might be higher with more turns, it doesn't matter greatly as the transformer is not in the job of transferring power. If a bobbin is hand crafted out of transformer card, or FR4 fibreglass ( I Araldite them together), since it will be jumble wound, without insulation layers, it may be possible to get the same number of turns with a grade thicker wire, or more turns even with the original size wire.
