If you want to splice balanced line, you can do a simple splice with two
wire nuts of both the same size.

That theoretically, would affect each side of the line the same and preserve
balance.  Your tuner takes care of that and any other "bumps'' even the
mixing of 300 ohm and 450 ohm line to complete a run.

We do this all the time for Field Days, where we have scored very well in
our class.  We never see any major difference in tune up on the tuner
whether the line run is spliced pieces or one continuous piece!
