You can have a half a turn when you start the wire at one end of the stack/stator and end it at the other end so the last "turn" is only 1/2 way around the stack/stator. All Novak motors are in half turn increments because the wires start at the back of the motor and are connected to a common ring at the front of the motor.
This is more common in brushless motors but some slot car motors in the 1960s were done in what was called, at the time, a "Star" wind where the 3 wires were soldered together at the back end of the stack opposite the commutator.

you ever wound a motor before? I have - I had my own brand of slot car motors in the late 1960's.
