you can mix rye with regular flour to stretch it.
yes, it will be a different flavor than if you
followed the recipe exactly, but it should still be
pretty good.

i've not ever used "dark rye flour" for anything, i've
not ever seen it at the store. i'm guessing they don't
want to use it in a sour dough recipe because of the
compounds in a mainly bran rye flour may inhibit the
culture from reproducing (or there may not be enough
starches left).
