Hi Chris,
ok, I hope I have now understood your set up and what you may possibly want to
change.
Present configuration:

And from an earlier post by you:
>>Can I wind the isolating

So you want to modify the combiner-autotransformer into a tapped one
and OTOH modify the tapped isolation transformer into a non-tapped 1:1 one.(?)
This would be not a good idea.
The combiner XFM would not work any more,the LPF would not work any more
properly.
Both need to see 50 Ohm.
Even if you cancel out the antenna/feeder reactance by the loading
coil/variometer you are left with a
very low real part of impedance of a few Ohm.
So beside the malfunction of the combiner and the LPF you would get a loss of
about 2dB on the 40 feet
coax (assuming 2 Ohm for the real part).
