[Antennas] can I fool my inverted L into being longer?

[FireBrick]

Fellow Antennatites.

I live on a city lot and am acreage challenged.
I have a inverted L that goes up my tower to a yardarm and slopes down to the garage roof
on my back lot line.

It didn't want to load so I coiled more wire around a pvc form at base of the L and it
tuned.
But not really well.
Well enough to make my rig happy although the bandwidth is narrow as I knew it would.

My question is..would it be better to have that coil up on the almost horizontal section?
Would that make the rig/tuner think it was a longer antenna?

of course: Please and thank you.
