Our variance differs from the expression used in models that assume point-size counterions (Refs. 1411), where the variance is proportional to (Formula presented) A variance proportional to (Formula presented) implies, at large condensation fractions, frequent multiple occupation at a monomer site that is inconsistent with the reduced space available to the counterions between the rods.
