I do something similar. In endgames where there is less than a queen, but
one side still has pieces, I don't do null move for the first N plies of
the search.
I also do a graduated null-move search, where R=3 for positions near the root,
and R=2 for positions near the leaf positions. I think doing the inverse is
wrong, as you will hide too much by letting null-move collapse the last few
plies into a simple quiescence search...
