Define two types of VM as described in:

http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v6.8/3_13Setting_Up.html#SECTION004137000000000000000

Assign each core a different VM and then have different start policies, 
depending on the needs you've outlined, e.g.:

http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v6.8/3_13Setting_Up.html#SECTION004137800000000000000

That should get you there.

Cheers,
Mark
