Consider this...

Keep File and Job Retention at 3 years.

Create a new pool with retention 3 years, call it LONGTERM.

Once a day, run a copy job.  Look for Full backups that are more than 
four weeks old.  Copy such jobs to the LONGTERM pool.

Then if you wish, have another script which if it sees a newer full in 
the regular pool, it purges the LONGTERM pool.
