Sounds like too much work! The loss of 50 Ohm feedline at 80 and 40
meters
isn't worth worrying about.

For 275 ft. of RG-58 with an SWR of 1:1 on 40m, one would lose
~half of one's power in the feedline. With an SWR of 10:1, one
would lose ~75% of one's power in the feedline.

275 feet of garden variety RG8Foam would have a loss of about 1.5 db at 10
MHz. LMR400 about 1db. Do NOT use RG213.
