Alright, what I should have said is:
For me, a better solution would to add a new kind of job level. Call it
something different, like a KernFull or something. This doesn't stop you from
attempting to schedule Incrementals and VirtualFulls so that they don't
overlap.
(By the way, the strategy you outline uses up twice the amount of space for
the files included in the Incremental, because they will also be copied into
the VirtualFull)
