I didn't see how to determine what portion of the foreign dividends are qualified in order to change 1b.
How's this for a new strategy? As the 1116 forms are created, I will manually double-check the figures and change the 2 original 1099 1a numbers back to the original amount to get past the error check. As long as the amounts are correct, there shouldn't be a problem. I also changed the 1116 forms where both 1099's hit the same country to have supporting lines reflecting each of the 1099 amounts.
