That splice is now patent pending and the above photos and descriptions will be deleted.
I was splicing 1/2" dbl braid, so used a 11" bury. On the first eye I found that it needed an extra 3/4" of cover with the increase in diameter. I gave the second eye 1" extra because it was going to be slightly bigger.
As usual anchor the rope a few feet down from the splice. Make sure the core and cover are equalized. Expose 3/4" of core from the end and milk the cover past the splice area towards the anchor point. 11" from the end of the cover either mark it, or as I did tie a double constrictor knot there.
Three strands from the constrictor I extracted the core. Two strands further down the core goes through the cover to start the locked brummel. Two more strands and the cover goes through the core, and then the core was buried for 3".

This is what it looks like at this point. Cut off extra core tail and taper the remaining tail and milk back inside cover. Next taper the cover.
Form the size eye you want and separate the cover strands and mark the core and then extract enough of the core to bury the 11" tail. Open up the core at the mark and bury the cover-core tail up to the constrictor knot.
Smooth it out and bury the core back into the cover.
With only a loss of 870 lbs of strength it seems to be promising.
