Something like this…?

You’ll notice that I created a short segment of just 10mm and rotated 360deg.

I could just as easily have extended to 20mm/720deg, 30mm/1080deg, 40mm/1440deg etc

However, I find it easier sometimes to do it this way as it saves me the tedious task of calculating rotations vs length each time, especially when creating odd lengths.  
For odd lengths I would create a ‘standard’ length first, say 200mm/7200deg then use the split body tool to cut to the length I require.

Yes that is perfect…awesome!  
It would have taken me a long time of frustration to get to that point, lifesaver!
