A 'drip-loop' aka, 'drain-loop' needs a few extra inches of cable, not feet. The idea is, water does not flow up hill. Rain water running down a cable should not be directed into a hole in the side of the house or onto a connector at the end of the cable. By running the cable down below the hole in the siding or a connector at the UVSJ, etc. then up a couple of inches, all the rain water will drip or drain away without causing trouble.
If you can separate the 91XG and the other antenna by at least 3' (more is better) you should not have much interaction between them. A 4' cable from the top antenna down to a UVSJ and another 4' cable from the UVSJ down to the lower antenna should provide 7' separation if cable length was all that needed to be considered.
