I suppose you could have a playoff final between the winners of NLN and NLS for the one spot, but that seems a bit harsh on the runners-up.
Yes, if the top 6th tier clubs want to go on, some sort of hastily arranged play off system would be a good compromise to settle that issue. Weymouth, Barnet and Dover are already way behind the rest, so it would seem reasonable to ask them to play off .
