That was a great suggestion, definitely communicates things more clearly imho.
I do have to throw out there at this point, the proposed UI for tiling at http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Tiling_tool is incredibly complex. One of the benefits to a dedicated tool is actually being able to manipulate parameters on-canvas. I'm not saying that having UI available for precision is bad, but I think being able to quickly manipulate various parameters using on-canvas controls would be more user-friendly.
Now, I'm not suggesting this as an appropriate route to go for this tool, but for some parameters (where "handles" on-canvas wouldn't work) you could possibly go the route of Gimp 2.7 in the text tool (UI shows up on-canvas) http://i.imgur.com/wyuov.png
Basically, in the end, the less dialogs that are required, the better.
Cheers, Josh

Great suggestion. Here is a revised version of the diagram using a comma instead of a spiral:
