Think out of the box. All the chime holder does is provide a

works best due to the strings being able to swing freely in any direction.

If the strings hang from a spiral, then some of the strings will be  
restricted in their movement because those strings will be touching part  
of the spiral below the string is attachment point.  
 
The sound quality of the chimes is not effected by the string anyway since  
the string is attached to the chime at the null location. And the chime  
does not really have to move because its sound is produced by the striker  
hitting the chime. So hang the individual chimes as you like, from a  
spiral, an icecream cone, or a cake rack. Just as long as the chime will  
be struck by something to cause it to chime. So spacing of the chimes is  
rather important if the chimes are to ring.  
 
How about placing multiple strikers on the outside of the chimes instead  
of having only one striker in the center of a ring (or a square for that  
matter) of chimes?
