The QueryParser syntax does not support what you're trying to do.
However, it is possible to do with the API. If you can construct your
Query programatically, you can use the SpanQuery API to do what you need.
Proximity searching is achieved using the SpanNearQuery; the constructor
of this object takes an array of generic SpanQuerys - so you can nest
SpanQuerys within other SpanQuerys.

Is it possible to do nested proximity searches with lucene?
i.e. can I say I want a to be within 1 word of b and then that group to be
within 4 words of c? The syntax ""a b"~1" c"~4 doesn't seem to work (since
it treats the first two quotes as a pair and the later 2 as another pair).
