1/Z1 + 1/Z2 + 1/Z3 = 1/ZT ... Actually they are complex impedances so
you need to do a vector sum but never mind adding up all the
impedances. Can you do 2-5 mil traces with 5 mil air gap? That sounds
like less than 5 and 5 to me. My PCB vendor is only certified to 6 and
6. Your normal shop can't do this one.

Don't worry about this kind of noise. That's why you use differential
transmission. Common mode signals are automatically removed.
