packing for my column

Hi
I've gone and got carried away and started to build my own new still. Its a slightly scaled down version of a reflux column that I have plans for (see attachment).
I have a 26 litre (around 6.8 us gallons, 5.7 uk gallons). Im using 34mm copper for my main column and ending up with a 28mm jacket over a 22mm condenser core.
The Question I have is that I have a lot of 10mm copper pipe left over and was considering cutting it up into small pieces to us as my column packing. Is this a good idea or is it not suitable?
