Don't have such tables to hand, but it would seem to be impossible to conduct a takeoff with reduced thrust and get to a faster Vr at the same point on the runway. With less thrust, and hence less acceleration, you'll be further down the runway at the same speed.

Unless there's something sneaky in the way the calcs are accounted for...?
