I'm not familiar with "TLW." Do you have an opinion on greater than 90 degree
bends, in opposite directions, rather than vertical drops? The ends are only up
29' at one end, about 25' at the other (ground is uneven, so I compensated this
way).
There is a possibility I could string another 50' on each end, forming a nearly
complete letter "Z/Zed" if you will. The antenna currenly runs NW-SE, and this
would involve a run due west at one corner, and ENE at the other.
Messing things up, or promising?

Irrespective of the matching problem, such a short dipole is going to
give you very significant losses in the feedline. If you could lengthen
the dipole to 200ft, TLW predicts the open-wire loss would be much more
acceptable at around 0.7dB.
