The question is, if a builder wants to make "loads" for bench testing

Ohms,
does the builder just ignore the negative sign of the resistive part of
the load
and use a 27 Ohm resistor in series with the required amount of inductive
reactance or what?
Thanks,

No, you definitely can't ignore the sign of the resistance.
See this construction article about how to realize a negative RF resistance:
http://www.vk6fh.com/vk6fh/lambda_diode.htm
VK6FH shows how to use this to make a "Tunnel Dipper"
without the tunnel diode, but you can repurpose.
