Grouping home posts by post_format

I’m using the infinite scroll plugin and need to display ten posts on the home page at any one time.

However…if a post is a particular post_format (eg. ‘quote’), I don’t want to display any more than one consecutively.

So I might have (post listing):

* Standard *
* Standard *
* Standard *
* Quote *
* Standard *

But can’t have:

* Standard *
* Standard *
* Quote *
* Quote *
* Standard *

I can loop through on the home page and do this programatically, but that means that I have less than ten posts on each page (as I’ve taken out any consecutive posts).

In some instances, this means that infinite scroll kicks in immediately, and sometimes only returns a post or two at a time.

Is there a sensible way of doing this that will work with infinite scroll?

TIA.
