For a self-symmetric tracial von Neumann algebra $A$, we study rescalings of $A^{*n} * L\mathbb{F}_r$ for $n \in \mathbb{N}$ and $r \in (1, \infty]$ and use them to obtain an interpolation $\mathcal{F}_{s,r}(A)$ for all real numbers $s>0$ and $1-s < r \leq \infty$. We get formulas for their free products, and free products with finite-dimensional or hyperfinite von Neumann algebras. In particular, for any such $A$, we can compute compressions $(A^{*n})^t$ for $0<t<1$, and the Murray-von Neumann fundamental group of $A^{*\infty}$. When $A$ is also non-separable and abelian, this answers two questions in Section 4.3 of recent work of Boutonnet-Drimbe-Ioana-Popa.
