I also do not understand what you are trying to get at. The only thing I can give you is

KErotational = (1/2)*(moment of inertia)*(angular velocity^2)

it should underestimate the ultimate length of the jump.  as the thing loses PE and gains KE, some amount of that KE will be stored in the marble as rotational KE.  to Eddie the Eagle, it would all be translational energy and would result in a longer jump, ultimately
