Default Five sloping dipoles

Hello to all,

We are in the process of designing the "Five sloping dipoles suspended from one support" for the ARRL's Antenna Book.

The text says that "The 36-foot length of feed line serves to increase the length of the element about 5%".

But suppose we want to increase the length by other factors (percentage), how to determine the (new) correct length?

A formula and/or a theoretical explanation would be much welcome..!
