Are you following a plan?
What is it being wired to?

I'm guessing the end with 2 leads is the primary and the others are secondaries. As long as they're wound with the same kind of wire, you can measure the secondary coils' resistance with an ohmmeter/multimeter. Resistance is proportional to the conductor's length.
