Superglue. If you're printing PLA, anyway. Splicing the gcode is the only way to do it without just printing it as a separate object and gluing it on top.
It's not very hard, if you follow the instructions. Instructions that Greg is probably better at giving than me.

Similar to changing layer heights during a print - you're going to have to splice the gcodes.
If you put a "Pause at Height" into both slices you will get the transition code for free. There are some lines you won't need (like the pause lines) but the transition code will be really close with the proper resume point for the upper print, and the G92 E should be correct.
You need to watch for where the end of the filament is in relation to the nozzle. Sometimes a slice will end with a retraction but the other slice might not start with a prime. You have to watch for that and possibly make an adjustment with the G92 E and maybe an unretract line before the spiralize portion starts.

Thank you very much for your answer.
