Best Practices for Range Building - V's Combos

I'm doing some flop work, and that requires I construct ranges for V's. I've estimated my player population tendencies from PT4 - and know I should have ~26 combos in this particular 4! range. The way I've done it is use mixed strategies for combos that a player may or may not have. For example 3 combos of QQ, 1 combo of JJ and 1/2 combos of AKo.
This feels reasonable, but I would like to know if a better way is used.

That sounds fine.
Are you using Flopzilla/Equilab/similar, or a solver for the post-flop calcs?

Flop stuff. Specifically, I知 looking at 3! Pots when I知 the 3! OOP and the 3!. SB vs BTN mostly.
Basically, based on 50k hands vs my population - btn is RFi痴 roughly 400 combos. Calling ~3! Roughly half time - and 4! 26 combos.
I知 trying to figure out the best 26 combos to remove from the top of the 3! Calling range.
Right now I知 removing:
KK+, 3 QQ, 1 JJ and enough AK to get to 26.
My concern is when I look at a specific flop like say AhKh4c the combos that i arbitrarily removed or kept in those mixed strategies (QQ, JJ or AK) might skew the results enough that some of the lines I知 plotting are off.
Is the fact that V might have a JhJx or QhQx going to swing things dramitcly. Since I知 just looking at one rep flop here AhKh4c not for example AsKs4d.
I知 not sure inexplained this well.

Yes, and significally
