I would just use DEM spheres for everything (IMHO what distinguishes
lattice models from DEM is that they have not collision detection for
nodes and most the time also no inertia within nodes).

You will have 2 different constitutive laws, one between spheres within
one cluster, which will be cohesive, and another one (or the same one
with a bool isCohesive or something like that) for the interactions of
spheres from 2 different clusters.
