i'm no aerodynamics expert but wouldn't less surface area be better? the boosters on some rockets have a gap between them and the main rocket and they are designed so that the tip is right in the middle of the booster leading to air being dispersed equally on all sides of the booster leading to some air going in this gap. that increases the surface area drastically compared to the older soyuz rockets which increases drag. i could be wrong since i don't know much about supersonic aerodynamics or how the stages are
