Default 88 ft + 66 ft fanned doublet?

Will such a wire antenna give me good coverage of all HF ham bands 80M
and shorter?

According to Cebik in his article, “My Top Five Backyard Multi-Band
Wire HF antennas," an 88 ft doublet (or double zepp) is not so good
for 10, 12, 15 or 17M, whereas a 44 ft doublet is good on those
bands. See:
http://www.cebik.com/fdim/fdim9.pdf

Will a fanned doublet using 88 ft and 44 ft wires cover all the HF
bands, 80M and shorter? How about 88 ft and 33 ft?

If fanning works, is there a shorter wire that will give me 6, 10, 12,
15 and 17M?
