If this is possible, then I'm all for it, however I do not think that it is currently possible to "disinherit" specific properties. Note: do to the way babel collects properties, I don't think that temporarily changing the value of `org-use-property-inheritance' will be sufficient.

Would it be possible/desirable to allow multiple settings of the same key in Org-mode properties? That seems like it could be a destructive change across all of Org-mode. Maybe we could extend the :var header argument to support the following syntax... #+begin_src emacs-lisp :var A=1 B=3 ;; code #+end_src or ** two vars in a properties block :PROPERTIES: :var: test1=7 test2=8 :END: That shouldn't be overly difficult, and should solve our requirements.
