Any reason not to feed each wire through the wall using those old
time ceramic insulators with the hole down the middle, you know,
those 4 or 5" long while tubes that were used in the knob&tube era
of electrical wiring. Since I would be making my own feed line
here, I could rejoing the pair on the other side of the wall and
continue with my spacers until I reached the ceiling, and then to
the process again, eg. putting each wire thru its own tube and then
continuing with the spacers on the other side.

It is either this or using that idea of double coax feed with the
coax grounds connected to each other at one end and grounded to the
tuner (?), anyone have sucess with this method of coming into the
shack via balanced lines?

Boy, are you gonna have fun! As Cecil said, spacing isn't
all that critical. Use whatever you can find enough of, to make
the 'spreaders', as long as it's not conductive it should work.
The simplest way to feed ladder line through a window is to
make a 'spacer' board to fit in the window. Drill a couple of
holes in the board, the correct distance apart, feed the line
through the holes, 'hot glue' in place (or however you can get
it to stay put. Have to remove the screen...

PS - The real 'trick' is to keep the line from 'swarming' on
you when you finish.
