RE: square helix?
1. Create your square tube
2. Create one full helix revolution by making one cut on each side
3. Linear pattern along one edge of the tube.
The only tricky thing will be figuring out what happens at the corners. This would be dependent on how you intend to create the physical part.

RE: square helix?
I found this tutorial on making a Square spring awhile ago on a SW community newsletter. This may help you for what you are trying to do. The guy who wrote this tutorial is named Rishi Kumar Patel. Let me know if this helps or not.
