Probably the only sane way is with a relay system.  The auction would
probably go something like: 1C-1D, 1H-1S, 1N-2C, ..., 7S.
These systems can get to amazing perfect fits, but are extremely
complex.

BTW, the slam is not necessarily that odds on.  The chance of an
opening club ruff is fairly high.  An opening heart ruff is possible.
And even a diamond opening can give trouble.  It is probably closer to
50% than to the 86% of the spades behaving.
