You can add parsed queries to a BooleanQuery. Would that help in this case?
SnowballAnalyzer sba = whatever();
QueryParser qp = new QueryParser(..., sba);
Query q1 = qp.parse("some snowball string");
Query q2 = qp.parse("some other snowball string");
BooleanQuery bq = new BooleanQuery();
bq.add(q1, ...);
bq.add(q2, ...);
bq.add(loads of other stuff);
