Interesting. Many parallel traces have lower inductance than the same width
in a single trace.  The bonding, and "z" bends are puzzling though. That
looks to add inductance.

There's a lot of vias, which I suspect mean that there's a lot of high
frequency current flowing, and they want to bond upper and lower ground
planes.

I've seen traces snaked to add inductance, but I've never seen one like
this before!
