It all depends on what sort of mashup you want exactly. Keep in mind that some of the official cornes have a break-off 6th column so you can get close to the same key count as a Sweep (36 instead of 34). Here are some that might come close.

Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards
Rules
Keep it ergo
Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)
i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²
¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid

Nice. Thanks
have you considered just building a corne, snapping off the 6th column (as most corne PCBs allow) and only soldering 2 of keys in the thumb cluster?
(it's 34, btw, the sweep has 34 keys)
Yes. Ordered a Corne. Will break of the outer column. And thanks for the correction. Updated the post
When you say "stagger", do you mean not-ortholinear? If so, I'm confused as both the Sweep and Corne are ortholinear.
There's a habit among ergo keyboard enthusiasts to refer to columnar staggered keyboards as "ortholinear". Ortholinear became a term for anything that's not row staggered like a traditional keyboard, even though it's not technically correct. Columnar stagger is a more corrrect term for stuff like corne or sweep. I mean I get it. I could switch between an ortho and a collumnar stagger pretty easily, but every time I have to type on a "normal" keyboard I fall flat on my face.
