Snip

What you are advocating is to tie several elements at the antenna
output point together. What can happen is that power from one element
can end up going down another element instead of the coax to the radio
input. The trick here is to cause one elements to be high impedance
when another is at resonance so the relative physical and electrical
lengths of the elements must be taken into consideration.
