Any difference accomplished by trimming that wire to its theoretically resonant length will be hit or miss. A 1/4 wave vertical requires a ground plane in order to be effective. Not only does the home tuner not provide a ground plane, the tuner chassis and AC wiring length represent the other half of a badly skewed and non-resonant dipole opposite the single wire. If you could ground the chassis of the tuner directly to a short, low resistance earth ground, the single wire could be tuned to resonance with the formula. Otherwise, it's likely not worth the bother.
