Hi Jay ! I suggest that you need to use ... borrow? ... some sort of an antenna analyzer such as an MFJ-259B and find the points on each band where the antenna -is- resonant. The resonant points on some bands will be quite narrow (80M), but I'd think you can adjust the lengths of the dipoles to make the antenna resonant on portions of the bands that are of interest.
I have one here that I use for a general purpose receiving antenna for my K3's second receiver, so low SWR resonance isn't so important. Bear in mind that like all "fan" dipoles, there is considerable interaction between the elements and length adjustments on a given band will almost certainly impact the other bands. You're likely to "chase your tail" as you try to make it satisfactory on all bands it's supposed to cover. An antenna tuner will be almost mandatory. 73!
