Jason, thank you for helping me refine my specifications. I should have said "as numerically small as possible while fitting in a Copal 1 and also meeting all the other specifications."
I have a 360mm f/10 Fujinon A with 504mm of image circle that performs admirably. If you could design something to meet the specifications in Post #94 that does as well as my 360A, with a maximum aperture closer to its f/10 than the f/5.4 in your calculation, I'd still be very happy. And, if I'm unknowingly asking you to violate the laws of physics, or you can only meet my specifications with a fat-waisted design, I'd even be willing to "grant" more weight and a Copal 3.
