No, it won't.  Model it and you will see why.  The twenty meter elements
are coupled when operating the ten meter beam.  You get very interesting
10 meter current distributions and related detunings on the twenty meter
elements.

F12 puts the 10 meter section in front the twenty in the C3

The C31XR and C19XR have intermixed elements, but the design is very
complex and took him years to complete.
