If I understand what you are trying to do, you don't have a problem. You can OR to your heart's content and Lucene will properly create the union of the results. I.e., there will be no duplicates.
There is built-in support for this kind of thing. See MultiFieldQueryParser, and for better results, consider http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32674.
