Ok, if I follow you up to this point, you need to use a send-hook that
makes sure that it doesn't match something.
send-hook !~t user@domain "my_hdr From: address C"
then another send-hook
send-hook ~t user@domain "my_hdr From: address whatever"
You could embed these send-hooks into a folder-hooks for the
appropriate folder, and then it should set up dynamically as you have
covered the cases that you mention later in your email.

I haven't tested my above examples, but they should work.

So embedding the changes to the send-hooks inside folder-hooks may be
what you are looking for then.

Sorry, don't know enough about pine for that to help me as a reference
any. :(
