I believe that using the prepend on the second AS like you mentioned should
work fine. Since the AS-path would only be 1 AS longer (prepend once),
those directly connected entitys to the AS in question should still find
this path, the shortest anyways as any other ISP connection that they might
have could only be equal at best. At this point, you have no control
anyway.
