The "one-entry" method makes the initial turn the shortest way to

So if I'm to hold over a VOR on the 270 radial, and I'm flying a track of
080, I should turn left to intercept the 270 outbound after overflying the
VOR?

Yes,

You can do that while staying on the protected side?

A parallel entry does not keep you on the protected SIDE.

If you can make a 110 degree turn to the left and stay within
protected airspace, do you not think that you can make a 170 degree
turn and stay within protected airspace?



Maybe yes, maybe no, depending on the speed-- but the 170 degree turn certainly uses almost twice as room as
the 110...
