The "significant advantage" of my design is that it is much more compact then what you are suggesting in your second paragraph; however, you could also cover either the front or back of my generator design with a sheet of supply modules to make it into a single beam. I might actually get around to doing that, actually.

Tutorial? Once you download and install the sments, you just hook one up to a ship and hit the button. If you for some reason would want a 5m or 10m size, here is how you would do it:
1. Set up powergen lines in grid formation. Say we want 5mil; powergen should be slightly above 5mil.
2. Add power capacitators- make sure you have around 5mil. These and the blocks in the following steps can just be inserted to fill the gaps in the power grid.
3. Add in power supply beams- again, should do around the same amount, if not more, than the gen rate. To check this, just go into flight mode and see how fast the power is drained when holding down the power supply computer- if the level goes down less than 50% after one cycle, then you have too many beam modules.
4. [Optional] Add in an equal number of cannon modules to the supply beam modules.
5. Setting up the logic: link a button to a delay, link that delay to another delay, link that delay back to the button, and then link the button to power supply computer. Slave the cannon to the power supply computer, and then hit the button.
If this doesn't make enough sense, just disect the little 50k.
