Responsa for Zevachim 160:2
ואי אמרת אין בילה אמאי עלו לו דילמא קיהיב עליונים למטה והתחתונים למעלה
Come and hear: If he [the priest] sprinkled [iff without asking. R. Eliezer said: He must re-sprinkle above, and the lower [blood] acquits him? - Here too the excess was upper [blood], and he sprinkles above the quantity of the lower blood plus a little more. But he teaches that the lower [blood] acquits him? - [It counts] as the residue.
Teshuvot Maharam
Q. Dough of a Gentile [which is exempt from the law of Hallah] was mixed with a piece of dough belonging to a Jew which by itself, was sufficient to become subject to the law of Hallah. How can the Jew take Hallah for, or from, the mixture?
A. In order to make sure that he takes Hallah from dough that is subject to that law, the Jew must take as Hallah a piece that is larger than the Gentile's dough.
