Let me see if I understand the question: You're looking for a simple
algorithm to tell you how to "best" deploy a wire of indeterminate
length in a configuration yet to be specified using a transformer of
indefinite impedance ratio on any of a number of unnamed bands.
This is reminiscent of one of the five volumes in Douglas Adams'
trilogy, "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy." The people build a very
powerful computer and then asked it, "What is the meaning of the
Universe?" The computer begins to compute, as is the wont of computers,
and worked on the problem for a very long time. Finally, it announced
that it had determined the answer. By this time, there was no one in
the Universe that remembered the original question. When asked for the
answer, the computer replied, "Forty Two."
Possibly "forty two" would work for you as a rule of thumb? :-))

Who knowns? I'm not asking for a *specific* optimization, I'm asking
for a general rule of thumb.
I'm not talking about a permanent installation, I'm talking about going
to some field, or hill. I don't know the band in advance, I don't know
the propagation conditions. And I have several lengths of wire with me,
I can adjust the wire length. And given the circumstances of the
location, even the layout of my wire (only on fiber glass post, between
tree and fiber glass post, etc) will change (e.g. sloper, vertical,
etc). Even the high will be undefined and/or changeable.
