Yup. Most of the time, working out the mechanics makes it easier to "naturally" achieve the effect you want to achieve.
Of course, in this case, I could directly set the gravitational bound, so it was even easier.

I didn't follow the fast transfer orbits section. is a acceleration or is it the average of perapsis and apoasis again? and is 'v' sub 'a' half of the additional delta-v you're spending?

That's unfortunate. I've added a sentence hopefully clarifying that I'm repeating the formula from above again (and yes, a is again the semi-major axis; I'm assuming almost-instant acceleration. v_a is the additional dV I want to spend)
