Import the .pdfs version, rename the folders so the non-.pdfs version has the same directory as the first imported folder, then import that.

However, I import files that would trigger this quite often and if possible would prefer to strictly maintain one file per Calibre record with as little tinkering as possible.

You should be getting that with multiple books, note the check box on the left of the book.
