Kick off a nice big render? ;-)
If you have an autoloader you can simply swap mags and have bacula rescan
the library, after that it should prefer those tapes instead of the ones
out of the changer. I think that's what you're getting at... weekly
rotation of tape media through the changer to support the full retention
period?
As to specifically marking a tape (or set of tapes) as Full to force
the Director to pick a pre-defined tape I don't know. You could probably
manipulate the MySQL database behind Bacula's back and then HUP it to pick
up changes... I might mention that just because you *can* do something
doesn't mean you *should* do something :)

"Back in the good old days, we would just look in the system log file to
see what was really going on. The new crowd of Linux users would rather
not have to do that, however; they expect the system to tell them,
politely, that their hardware is on fire and that they are about to deeply
regret not having run any backups since sometime last winter."
