Wouldn't aggregate-policer on both .1q provide what you are looking for?

I am not sure if there is an easy technical solution for this problem,
you need a central point to enforce the policy. This can be a router
(i.e. a single link with a policer) or the backend/accounting system
where you add the used bandwidth on both links and bill them more if
they use more than they bought..
