Can I print bridge infill with the same settings as bridge perimeter?

I like to print out tokens for a game I play. To get the detail that I like, I print multi colors, but need to use bridging on the bottom of the token. I've tried changing a whole bunch of settings (including bridge fan speed, bridge flow rate, bridge speed, and number of perimeters), but have not been able to produce a result that I'm 100% happy with. I get bridges with a globby start and stringy.

On a bridge test ( https://www.printables.com/model/116915-bridge-test-piece/files), the perimeters were nice straight lines and when I changed the number of perimeters so that the whole bridge was comprised of perimeters, I had the result I wanted. But with my token, it changed the straight line infill to a circular perimeter.

So I've been messing more with the bridging speed and flow rate. My best result has come from bringing the bridge speed up to the normal infill speed (80mm/s) and the flow rate at 1.25. I'm trying another test at 1.5 and will update after that

If anyone is interested, I was able to figure it out. I got very good first layer bridge lines (when looking up from the bottom). I have the settings saved and pictures of the results, and can post if anyone would like to see.

I'm assuming you're using PLA?  I'd be interested in seeing the result, and the parameters you used.  I'm having trouble printing bridges with nylon and it may help my tuning to see what you changed.
