Perhaps I misunderstand the unity horn, but I did not mean my suggestion to depend on summation: the idea simply is that one horn flows directly into the other, rather than being discrete; you could have the bottom or top half alone. So the profile is still tractrix (say) it is just that it merges smoothly into its neighbour. The drivers need not be any further apart than they are in a conventional horn system configuration. Would that not work?

It does matter how you want to intellectually dissect your example, it is in principle still a summation device. In order to get a flat frequency and phase response, the output from each driver must sum correctly at their crossover point. Your example only differs from the unity horn in the driver locations. There will not be anything approaching continuity between the drivers because they are multiples of wave lengths apart at their perspective crossover points.
