I think this might actually be easier -- just do a transfer where you don't toggle CS and just stops the clock at the last bit, then do another (multiple) transfers which don't toggle CS at all, then finally do a transfer which toggles a CS at the end. This should be pretty trivial to do and I think for example spi-mxs.c does this.
