A long long time ago I read a forum post that evaluated mixing various types of plant based protein powders at various ratios to achieve a high PDCAAS score. The only things I can recall are that a 70/30 mix of pea protein and rice protein gave you above a 1.0 score, and mixing hemp protein in with anything made the score worse. You can conveniently buy cheap pea protein powder and rice protein powder in 7 and 3 lb jugs.
This was specifically about protein powder, but I think you could achieve similar results in your diet by combining different plant based foods in a meal.
