(D2 B2 D B2) puts DBR and UBR both in the U layer so now the cycle is (UFL UFR) (UBL UBR) so use your normal permutation alg, then (B2 D' B2 D2) undoes the...

Two more ideas: 1) Setup algorithm (D' L2 D L2), Permutation algorithm (R B' R' B)*3. 2) Swap (UFL,URF) and (UF,UB) using your PLL alg for this case. Then use...
