I like to build more complex sequences within the sequence monad, like this:

(concat
  (when cond1 [start elements])
  main-seq
  (when cond2 [end elements]))

This also composes nicely with function calls.

Another option for a subset of cases:

(cond-> start-vec
  condition1 (conj end-element1)
  condition2 (conj end-element2))

kind regards
