I've been thinking about this a bit, and I don't know that there's a 
good way to do it in condor. First, even if we spread out the matches 
per cycle, the schedd can re-use matches for multiple job in sequence, 
so it might not impact the time machines free up as much as you might think.

Perhaps to get the results you want, you could start jobs as usual, but 
enable preemption so that higher-priority jobs could start more 
quickly. Or, reserve some machines for your higher-priority jobs.
