I'm not sure I have understood your problem.  What are the 
character types (for the digits)?  One solution I'm thinking of 
is using LRM and RLM:

	12 <LRM><RLM>34 56<RLM><LRM> 78 <LRM><RLM>AB<RLM><LRM> 90

Definitely it contains extra marks, but the idea is how to get 
what you want somehow mechanically.

If you do a job too well, you'll get stuck with it.
