The collar proportions will come with experience considering you keep aiming for the proper proportions. Like John said, separate hair before hand. This may not be for everyone but I find tying a lot of steelhead flies and some salmon flies helps build a sense of proportion. Also tying drys and nymph and streamers. The more experience that can be gained from tying with natuarl materials will help make big flatwings look as tight as a Black Ghost or a Royal Coachman.
Stick with C grade. They accomplish what is wanted. Splits are fine unless you are making show flies.
