My question is, if I added a long radial (on the ground) from that ground
rod, all the way under the sloping antenna wires, would there be any benefit
in the transmitting pattern? How about two radials, 180 degrees from each
other (one under the antenna, the other 180 degrees away from it)?

If I understand it correctly, I would guess that radials would
help that antenna. Sounds like you are losing half your power
in the ground rod. Two radials are better than one and the more
radials the better.
