If too long the coil saturates and will take longer to move back into the linear region. (Lay mans terms: less voltage at the plugs)

not sure what you mean here?? you NEED to saturate the coil to get the maximum energy out of it.. ok you only NEED to JUST saturate it with sufficient on time, but a longer on-time which runs the coil into saturation won't reduce the coil energy. Extended on-time beyond the saturation point will put extra heat into the coil driver (amplifier) and potentially the coil though, with no gain in output energy.
