Just use Text Mode and change character sets every three character lines.
Problem there of course is you lose half the colours.
Alternatively... take advantage of the fact that in a text mode with just normal alpha/num characters, you can have a character set with 2 blank scanlines and still have the text looking normal.
Define the text character set such that the last 2 lines are blank and first 6 contain the alpha/num bitmap parts.
During badlines, just leave it in bitmap mode the entire duration.
