I made a mistake on my T1 and it's likely easier to rewind using new wire as otherwise it may be short... instead of the 0.33mm wire can I use 0.3mm wire without detrimental effect?
Yes, the wire size is mostly unimportant.

Secondly, will I need to calculate a different number of windings than the 30, 4, 4, 4 for 30m for the default 0.33mm wire?
No, use the same turns ratio with the smaller wire.? You'll have a bit more space for winding using the smaller wire.? I used #32 on the toroid for my 80-Meter OCX large winding, so didn't overlap the turns.? Worked great!
