I would be interesting to know if it is possible to design a special balun that can balance the two unequal parts of the OCF with a "no common mode current" in the feed line but still with a galvanic connection to avoid static build-up.

Sure. k9yc.com/RFI-Ham.pdf has a bunch of simple designs. It's called a common mode choke. To confuse people, some call a common mode choke a current balun. BUT -- most commercially available "current baluns" are pretty poor.
