The idea was to increase the minimum required C. You can move the tap
around for other stepups but the balanced T arrangement is the one most
often mentioned.

Adding another completely seperate L ahead of the 10M coil works on paper
but I have not tried it ; but would seem to add a reverse requirement on
the lower band taps.
In either case and in reality only 12, 15, 17 and 20M in descending order
would see a noticable effect.
Nothing is simple!
