If it was originally made with just a ring of insulation, it is not good to cover it unless you must to stop corona/arcing. Putting too much on could trap heat, can detune the secondary somewhat and affect HV regulation and losses - lots of little effects that take it away from the original designed performance.

In summary, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
