I did try a version of execute, but I read in the docs that you could
not use exe on part of a command. You had to execute the whole line,
even if it contained multiple commands.
Where did you read that? Your conclusion is incorrect, so perhaps the
documentation needs to be more clear.
The conclusion is correct, but it doesn't apply to the situation at
hand. There's no "part of a command" being executed.
I presume the help text in reference is the explanation under :help :exe
which explains that you can't start a 'while', 'for', or 'if' inside an
:exe and then finish it outside the :exe.
The :exe in the example is also allowed. The concatenated strings form
a whole command:
:exe "let @1 = ''"
:exe "let @2 = ''"
...etc.
