Do you know any human musician who can play that exactly as written?

Hi folks,
I have a new client assignment, and it requires partial tuplets. I can
do
this graphically, but it bugs me that I can't figure out a way to do
it so
it's "real". Here's a sample measure description:
Time signature is 8/4.
Measure contains a 7:4 quarter-note tuplet, a 5:4 eighth-note tuplet,
and a
3:2 quarter-note tuplet.
Easy so far, right?
EXCEPT...
The tuplet pieces are separated from each other, with the pieces
spread out
so:
7 7 5 7 5 3 7 5 3 7 5 3 7 5 7
The composer wants each tuplet segment numbered. I can do it all
graphically with a time signature of 25/8 (hidden, showing 8/4) and
numbers
placed above as expressions. I can also do it by creating the tuplets
and
dragging the pieces into place and breaking the eighth-note stem
connections, hiding the tuplet numbers, and placing new ones
graphically.
Neither plays back correctly.
But I just don't like the kluges. Any way to do this as written?
Thanks,
Dennis
