I don't believe this idea will work. The SWR on 15 m will be OK near the feed
point but will be really high at the end of the balanced line that connects to
the coax.

Something I have suggested to many is to add a sloping 15 meter dipole, 
(2 ea 11 foot wires) to the feedpoint of their G5RV.

That should give you a better match on 15 m while leaving the other 
bands near the original performance.  The old concept of paralleling 
dipoles for multi band coverage.
