Hi Gary,
       Trying to get the "Short guy Equalizer" balanced would be absolutely impossible.
The best method is as Steve said....... Put two guys on one point of the guy bracket 
(use three shackles) then put the other two guys as normal onto the other two points.
I would never wrap the guy around the tower leg, use a proper Rohn guy bracket, they are
cheap enough.
