Hi,

Just loop through the cart with an item-list and then
do an if-field (create an extra column in which you place a 1
or something just for the special item) you can also do
a item-code compare, I guess but I don't know how.
If-field=true then do a set of "mv_shipmode".
But after the if-field, also do a check for nitems in the cart
if it's > 1, set mv_shipmode to the one that uses per-item
shipping plus the given extra charge, if it's not > 1,
just set mv_shipmode to the one that applies the flat special
charge:

item-list
if-field special
    if nitems > 1
    set mv_shipmode normalspecial
    else
    set mv_shipmode special
    /else
    /if
else
set mv_shipmode normal
/else
/if-field
/item-list

Also, take a look at shipping in the docs and "heavy items"
It accomplishes about what you want using Perl.

Hope this helps,
