Fine tuning is difficult on the algorithm level. See also the bug[s]
on the tracker requesting the addition of a hunk editor option,
whereby you can edit the diff lines that are included in the patch.

The real solution is to darcs get the repo to a /tmp dir, edit
the parts you want, and record. then you can  copy your file to a
new place in your original working dir, revert, pull from the tmp
repo, and then move the file over the updated one, and record the
rest of the change.

It's cumbersome, but I do this often, I have the same problem as you
;-)
