Thanks.
For some series where multiple series are set in the same world (Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar books for example), I changed the series name from say, Mage Wars to Valdemar: Mage Wars and kept the series index the same. It does take a bit of manual intervention during the metadata cleanup but not that onerous.
