Since I'm basically a QRP op and rarely use more than 25 watts, I guess I didn't notice when this "problem" actually began. So here's the issue: My KX2 will show the power I've set with the knob precisely, right up to 110 watts.  However, my KXPA100's green LEDs seem to be about 20 watts

Don't you think being "rather disappoint[ed]" in the internal sound card is a bit demanding?  Do you really expect a 192 kHz, studio grade DAC internal to the radio? I understand the desire for low noise and wide bandwidth... I do.  But to put a Focusrite Scarlett grade sound interface internal

A couple of points. 1)  In an OCF the currents are not equal. 2) The two cables are operating in a (different and largely unknown) mismatched condition. Using ARRL publications for calculating additional loss due to mismatch is fraught with danger. As is I might add, using older versions of

They're in series when used in the manner being discussed, not parallel.  If you were to connect the two center conductors together and two shields together at each end, they are in parallel.  In such case, the shields go to one side of the dipole and the center conductors to the other side.
