You believe resonance of the driver is desirable? Have you plotted a
yagi with EZNEC and added reactance to make the director physically
shorter than the de, but the electrical length correct?

Yes I have done that lots of times if I have the question correctly
basically having resonant elements beside the driven element but of
different lengths

I have not; but would expect it to plot out as two identical de's
pattern with a reflector?

Well now I am not sure what you want plotting if you are making the
reflector resonant
other than the design frequency of the array.
