Here's another way that might fit your needs. Start with the VSS helical sweep like
before so you can control the length of the slot and amount of twist parametrically.
Next create some intersection curves on the outside and inside surface.
Start another VSS (material removal) using these as the guide curves.
Create a slot profile.
Make sure in the sketch you delete the Horizontal and Vertical constraints or the sketch won't twist as it sweeps.
Then add rounds to the corners and make them Full Rounds.
Here is a video of what I am describing above:

Here are the second VSS settings:
Does this technique yield better results?
