So you'd pull the yoke apart, coat all the wires a couple times, then press them back together and give it another coat so it "holds form"?

You don't need to make it pretty and put the windings back exactly where they were originally, just make sure the compromised windings are isolated from each other a bit (you don't need a big separation here) and then coated. If the repaired windings will get crammed against the neck of the tube when the yoke is mounted, then you can add a coating of something like Corona Dope over the windings, or clean the tube and put a couple of layers of black electrical tape on the tube (you don't want the adhesive side to touch the yoke windings.
