I think that is one of the reasons the transformer should ideally be measured as a full 2 port device using a full two port VNA. This can also be done with a TR VNA like the nanovna with a little patience. Once this is done the s2p model can be loaded into a simulator and the load presented to port 2 can be changed to a complex load at will. To make things more realistic, a powerful RF simulator can define port 2 as an s1p model taken from a real antenna for example.
