You are placing far too much importance on your objective of having
each dipole resonant. It matters oh so very little from any point of
view.

It's basically the whole point. No tuner needed, and a dipole
pattern for each band there is a dipole for.
Looking at that pix, they are using the "hard" to tune design.
The elements are close stacked, and this makes coupling a problem.
It would be much better to spread the dipoles out in different
directions, IE: N/S, E/W, etc, to keep them spread apart.
Always start with the lowest band and work up. If each dipole is
not resonant, how will you keep your radio from shutting down?
Use a tuner? That defeats the whole purpose, and the low loss of
of resonant dipoles, fed with coax. MK
