Don't think so.

IIRC the OP said the tubing diameter went from 4" down to 1".  If you modeled in NEC with stepped-diameter correction to get an equivalent uniform length and then took a percentage before changing back to tapered, you might get there.  But if you can model in NEC, why not just work out the change there?

Not length to diameter, It is independent of diameter.

It is a simple method to determine a difference of length as a ratio based
on frequency.

Thanks Gary K9RX and Charlie N1RR, 2nd question is clear now.
Charlie also gave formula for length 246/f(mhz) =  element (feet) which I
assume includes length to diameter ratio or this ratio is not so much
important.
