another approach would be to put your touch specific bits into javascript files 
that are included from the QML to provide the missing functionality.

so, for instance, for SLC it might have a contents/code/platform.js and a 
touch/code/platform.js file that looks like:

function iconSpacing() { return /* some value */ }

or it could even just declare some global variable(s):

var iconSpacing = <some default>
import platform.js

and platform.js would do:

iconSpacing = <some other value>

(or some such thing .. haven't tested either of the above with actual code, 
but they ought to both work :)

the nice thing about this approach is that we have just the one concept: 
target-based file loading.

of course, this won't work well if the differences are large and not just 
simple changes to property values.

it would be helpful to gather some real world use cases (like the SLC one) to 
see if this will actually cover our needs. seems you've run into some already?
