I believe Chris is talking about converting from a PI network to a Pi-L network. The Pi-L having two levels of impedance matching, and a little more harmonic suppression, than the original Pi network.

Nope, he's talking about adding some inductance between the plate and the tune-C, making a kind of "L-Pi" (or L-Pi-L!) network. The idea is that with very high plate load impedances it may be impossible to get a low-enough minimum capacity in the tune-C to permit a reasonably low Q. Adding some inductance before the Pi network pre-transforms the load impedance to a lower value so a practical capacitor can be used.
