Sure, there have been such charts over the years. My point was that
making segments of guys into resonant lengths would seem like a risky
endeavor for the performance of the antennas on the tower, especially
given the harmonic relationship of our bands.
That said, for years I had a 4-element K3LR-style vertical array for 80M
on my tower, and noticed no impact on the stacked tribanders inside the
array.

Phillystran turned that into a much better antenna. I suspect that
making sections of guy resonant on one of the bands could have some
unexpected effects on other antennas on the tower. Or, it might work
fine.
I'd have to dig out some old books, but didn't the ARRL Handbook have
a chart of all metallic guy lengths to avoid to prevent interactions,
and resonance?
Like the image on the left here:

It's been nearly thirty years since I've referenced it, I use
synthetic materials now.
