Having more distance between two sensors should reduce range ambiguity I think. In RA the sensor of the TB-29 makes up 2/3 of the full array, so (in theory) it should be extended to at least that length. Like you say though this might not have an effect in DW.
The TB-16's sensor is much shorter in comparison to its cable, which together with its higher resistance to breaking and to own-speed noise make it more useful for red book style high speed TMA once a target is in range as far as I can tell. I have seen it referred to as a tactical array or something similar somewhere.
KungPao, since you have presumably seen FPSChazly's videos (which I also recommend), you could have a look at some of JiveTurkey's videos too, he has a series on TMA. Edit: Here are a couple from a quick search. Apologies if I'm cluttering up the thread I can't find how to remove the youtube embedding:
