Now, if I understand, the principle of the 130 foot dipole matching

Nope. The twin lead is whatever length it takes to resonate
the antenna system plus an integer multiple of 1/2WL. Correct
this concept first before drawing additional conclusions.

I think I meant a 1/2 wl interval, but apparently that is wrong too.

If I have an antenna at impedance A, I would first run a length of 450
ohm twin lead for X length which will create the matching impedance
and then any integer multiple of a half wave after that.

A and X being unknown.
