Best advice here is "don't".  The problem is lookahead:  if k>1, the lexer state may have changed by the time you look at a token.  
This also makes for fragile code.  Usually, when you feel the urge to tie the lexer to the parser in this way it is time to ask "Am I trying 
to do too much in the lexer?" and expect to hear "yes" echoing back.
