is this what normal mag springs look like when fully loaded or just over a certain number of rounds.
Pretty much. It's fine as long as the coils don't pass each other ("coil jumping"). It's for that reason that the coils are shaped like the magazine and expanded to fill it.
Looks really hard on the spring, doesn't it?
I am not an expert on springs, but that sure looks like a single stack spring in a double stack mag...
