Otis brings up a good point. Possibly you could put logic in your function query to account for this. But it may be that you can't achieve the mix you're looking for without taking direct control.
That is the main reason that SOLR-4465 was put out there, for cases where direct control is needed. I have to reiterate that SOLR-4465 is experimental at this point and subject to change.
