If the information is stored at some value of bits per cm… There’s less bitrate (bits per revolution) in the middle of the record vs the outer edges.

That’s a lot of complexity added for 80kb. Curious if there was much software that just wouldn’t have fit on a single floppy otherwise.
It’s an 11% increase, that’s huge. Floppies weren’t just used to store programs, also to store files.
Some of the first real home/office PCs had only one floppy drive and 640kb of RAM. Fancier machines had a second floppy. If you were a millionaire, you could get a HDD with upwards of 30Mb storage.
