XSL-FO does not compress vertical justification on a page.

XSL-FO Section 4.3 discusses these length component values you cite 
are used for arbitration between sequences of space 
specifiers.  These values are not used in a balancing of information 
on the page through compression of vertical spacing.

Unless XEP offers an extension, there is nothing in XSL-FO that 
requires XEP (or any other XSL-FO processor) to implement what you ask for.

I hope this helps (though I recognize it isn't what you wanted).
