You can tune any non-resonant doublet antenna by adjusting the length of the
feedline.  When you have a current max at the shack end of the line, the
feedline plus antenna makes one resonant system.  The K2 ATU will match it
just fine.  I do that here with two 55 ft doublets I use from 80m through
20m.

You will have to pick different feedline lengths for different bands.  This
is easily done with lengths of TV twinlead and some banana plugs and jacks.
Just insert the right line length for a given band, match it, and operate.

Good luck and 73,

I just bought a 'Shorty-All bander Doublet antenna'  to help me out.  My
parent's rented property is very small.
Then I read that it will not work with built-in ATU...

Will the ATU for the K2 tune this antenna??
