Maybe you can provide us with an illustration of the different
situations you encounter.
Using padding looks like the solution to me, but I guess that in some
cases you want the space between the spanning block and surrounding
elements to be reduced to zero? In which case you obviously can’t use
padding.
You could fake the elastic space with an empty block-container of
variable height:
<fo:block-container background-color="white"
keep-with-previous.within-page="always"
block-progression-dimension.minimum="0"
block-progression-dimension.optimum="10pt"
block-progression-dimension.maximum="20pt">
<fo:block/>
</fo:block-container>
but my little experiments showed that the blocks wouldn’t shrink or
expand as proper spaces would.
I guess you could achieve something by analysing the area tree and
creating appropriate SVG background images for those pages that need it.
Haven’t tried though.

Vincent
