Now I understand what you're describing. That could match an antenna
having parallel transformed feedpoint R less than 50 ohms and moderate capacitive reactance. But it's probably not the best way to do it. You couldn't feed a 5/8 wave vertical this way, because the parallel transformed feedpoint R is greater than 50 ohms. The portion of L below the tap would be the value needed to resonate with the equivalent shunt Xc of the antenna. Then the additional turns would simply be the rest of the autotransformer to step up the equivalent parallel feedpoint R.
