I would probably elect the weakest of each party's strongest
candidates, e.g. find the strongest candidate from each party and then
assign a seat to that weakest of them.

Once a party gets its allocation of seats, it can't be assigned any more.

This is to allow small parties fill in their seats before large
parties can lock them out.
