AutoCAD - Seamless polyline linetype

Is there a way to make a joined polyline function as a continuous length as it pertains to displaying the chosen linetype? As an example, I would like to draw a rectangle with filleted corners except that joined polylines still will not show breaks if the individual segments are too short. In the example I would like there to be a single break here at the top. Is there a way to have autocad forget about the individual segments?

That's great. I have not been familiar with 'linetype generation' nor its other uses. Is there a possible way to render the line symmetrical?

No, unfortunately, there is no such option. You can try to adjust the LT scale a little bit or break the PL in half.

You can manipulate where the pattern starts.  I discovered some time ago in another connection that the linetype-definition's pattern starts at the second vertex of a Polyline.  So you can add a new second vertex, and then grip-edit move it along to get the "look" you want.  Here I used PHANTOM linetype to make it a little more obvious how the positioning of the dash-gap pattern relates to the vertices, and how positioning the second vertex affects the pattern origin:

Something more like yours:
