This diagram suggests a helix in the wake, was it a single-helix, a multiple helix, or a superhelix? Is there any other part of the wake that would be visible?

The parts of the wake that are visible depends on its temperature. See https://space.stackexchange.com/a/12759/11260 for more info – Manuel J. Diaz Dec 15 '18 at 01:15
