Default assymetrical antenna

I run a 130' dipole fed with ladderline down to a balun , then a coax stub
to the tuner.

During a recent storm, one side of the antenna broke, or was broken by a
falling limb---whichever.

The easy fix is to solder the pieces together, while bracing them
physically.

This would make the side where the break was approx 1' shorter than
previous.

Will my tuner compensate for a 1' assymetrical load?

Any reason not to do this, insofar as loading/performance?
