Print in spiral vase mode for upper layers of part?

Hey I'm trying to print a slightly tapered, open cylinder where the top 10mm of the part is a single extrusion width.  Is there a way to get this top portion of the part to print similar to spiral vase mode?  I'd like to avoid the Z seams to improve the surface quality and make the part more functional for the application.  I've messed with various settings in PrusaSlicer and various wall thicknesses in the model with no luck.

Doing some searching lead me to the method below that was used with Cura slicer.  If there is no way to automatically achieve this, could something like this manual method be done with Prusa?  Any idea where I can set extrusion to relative as the poster mentions?  Thank you in advance for any help.

Sliced a Model twice, normal and vasemode. Manually pasted the vasemode gcode into the normal, replacing all upcoming layers. Have me a Solid Base with the vasemode above.

Almost forgot: you need to Change the Extrusion setting to relative I think it was. Since the 2 Codes would use different amounts of extruded filament you would end Up with a mess. Had a retraction about almost 500mm on my First try before thinking about that at the junction layer

Could work.

THe print is just a computer program written in GCODE.  The compiler is the printer.  So you can use GCODE to make it do ANYTHING.  Some of those things will even work.  You can slice a model to print well with a sharp two perimeter edge and then use sandpaper to taper it.
