There can be no one size fits all ladder line length for a multiband antenna.
Allot of variables come in to play such as other nearby antenna's, trees, power
lines, etc that interact with a multi band antenna in an unpredictable manner.
I use a fan doublet with individual elements for 80, 40,

If you want to have consistent successful
digital mode contacts of any reasonable distance you have to run a full size
antenna, either a 1/2 wave dipole or 1/4 wave vertical. Night time D layer
