Why not just do 2 dogbones? You can still larkshead your suspension directly to them and you're probably less likely to wind up with one longer than the other.
So it really depends on what your trying to do. If having a single piece of cordage is your goal. The I think your on the right track. If your trying to insure that you could remove/replace the cordage if it got damaged, or make them them longer/shorter to test different configurations then two dog bones, I think makes more sense.
I like having the ability to make changes without having to cut the suspension off the hammock.

The noose would negate the self balancing part of your goal unless you perfectly nail it. An 1/8" off is enough to make the bridge feel unbalanced.
The only real decent reason to chase the single cord is to shave grams.
Course satisfying your own curiosity is a decent enough reason too. So just do it.
A "self balancing system" may also be a self unbalancing system. With dogbones, I can lean WAY over to one side to reach something on the ground. I suspect trying that with a single line might result in it slipping to one side and a quick trip to ground.
