Who manufactures a 4CX800?
Is that not a pseudo designation of the GU74b, as they do with the GU43b
which the Russian dealers advertise as a 4CX1000? OR the GI23b as a 4CX1600?
My calculations for class AB1 at 2100V anode voltage swing and 0.6 anode
current are resulting in a plate load impedance of 2200 ohms.

First, the quoted limits apply to the 4CX800, for the Russian GU74B they are
2000V and 0,5 A respectively.
Assuming you will "get away" with the 4CX800 ratings,
the plate voltage swing will be limited downwards by the screen voltage. It
is reasonable to expect a peak plate voltage swing of around 2100 V with a
300 V screen voltage and a 2500V no-load voltage. This translates roughly
into a plate load impedance of 2800 ohms at the 1 kW output power level.
A PI-L network using a plate load impedance of 2800 ohms and an
intermediate impedance of 200 ohms would be a good starting point.
