How do I pipe the overlapping circles?

I’m confused on the instructions to pipe over the traces circle, then overlapping circles. Are these supposed to be concentric circles? Or a spiral continuously from the perimeter to the center? Or smaller circles all touching each other within the larger perimeter, like a beehive?

Look at YouTube for easier, better instructions. Or to image sites for the finished pastry.
The Paris Brest was developed in early 20th century to mark a big race (before the Tour de France started). Supposed to evoke if not exactly resemble a bicycle wheel.
For example:

Oh ok, thanks. Yea I looked at images of Paris Brest, and it looks like a ring with an open center. What confused me is that the image on the recipe page looks like it has a full pastry on top, more like a disc than a wheel, but it’s a little difficult to make out the details. Do you see what I mean?

Yes, Perry, I saw that filled-in disc.
Looks to me like a variation by this recipe author.
You could make that if you want, or the traditional open circle,
