Much thanks to Bas de Bakker and Pete Orelup for running my program and
sending back the results.  For the curious among you, the "best" step size
for bombing a core of 8000 elements 8000 times is:

   3039 or 3359

The sum of maximum bomb-free space is 101410 for each.  Unfortunately, 3039
and 8000 have no common divisors and 3359 is prime, therefore a bomber
using either of these step-sizes would necessarily bomb itself eventually.

Here are the best finishers for the next ten sizes of free space:
