Looking through the PE's, would I be right in thinking that the single bar is placed about 6" from the wall? If so, does it remain in this position for the other PE's? I guess you need some room for the pirouettes but I am keen not to cheat the intensity.
Also - insanity bonus! What the hell! If you post a satisfactory form check do you get some custom gold plated handstand blocks? 
Distance should be as close as you can comfortably maintain balance and proper alignment.

Am I missing something or are you joking? Where was that said?
Scroll down to the last SE...
How long and what diameter of bar is optimal? Thank you
I've been using a 1.3m length of 54mm diameter timber handrail. In hindsight it might be too short for some of the later pirouettes but its been fine up to my current PE7.
Tried duct taping a 1.5" x 6' hardwood, martial art staff between two dumbbells. Bends quite a bit, but I have a couple of years to get a thicker and longer rail before I get to those pirouettes. 
Thank you Tony.
