I'd had a look at using an eighths place bob, followed by one change
of wrong hunting and another eighths place bob. Don Morrison has used
a similar construction in peal compositions of spliced Maximus - see,
for example, <http://ringing.org/main/pages/dfm/maximus/spliced#5959>
- which is where this idea came from.

Here it acts on 2 and 3, bringing up the first part end 14567890ETAB23
after seven leads of Bristol, some of which have a seconds place lead
end:

| 5122 B+ 14
| 234567890ETAB 1x.2x.4 (4 leads)
| 08T6B423A5E79 "1B.18" (2 changes)
| 08T6B43527A9E 3x (3 leads)
| 4567890ETAB23
| repeat twelve times
| x = 12, bob = 18.

Reduce to 5010 by replacing the seven leads between two consecutive
links with five leads of (14ths place) Bristol.

I guess this is essentially analogous to what Ander is doing with his
18 bob and 7B half-lead bob, but only two rows apart. The 5010 isn't
especially tidy - more a proof of concept - but I'm not sure how much
neater is possible without falling foul of the falseness generated.
