Ken,

If you design the antenna for a high frequency, and then start clipping,
it will resonate at a higher frequency. No amount of clipping is going to
give you low SWR at a lower frequency.

I think he is talking about clipping extra wire to one end, as with a clip
lead, not clipping off a piece of existing wire. That would not be
repeatable anyhow.

How effective is it to cut a one-band dipole for the highest frequency
desired and clipping an extension on one leg to get low SWR on lower
frequencies?
