Further to your idea about using complete magnets, what about using the magnets in pairs. If you connect N-S, N-S in that order you will get a larger magnet. If you then double the diameter of the rotor, you should get a lower revving generator for a given output voltage. The coils can also be better matched to the size of the magnets.
It will be necessary to double or treble the number of magets thickness wise so you obviously need a lot of drives.
