Instead of the second curve, you can do essentially the same thing by
having the second set a toner.  That way a single linearization takes care
of both of them.  I find this is usually more accurate than the blending
approach, though I use the blending approach to test different combinations.

Note that once you've found you ink limits and densities for a standard Eb6
partition, most of the work is done.  You can just re-label some of the
inks for the "toner" or "toners" and split the dilute ink limits between or
among the "channels" you've set up.
