They need to implement a side-kick system for the online. Leave the black phan part of the equation alone, but open it up for more blue phan teaming.

They could implement a Stat-restriction system for Blue-Phantom pairings, to subsitute the Level caps. That way, even if a higher leveled Blue-Phantom comes to help, they'll have reduced stats, matching up to the summoning player Level. 

That would open up the online pairing a lot  

Let me be more clear (Since what you said is almost exactly 1 side of the side-kicking system)  Side-kicking is from City of Heroes (or basically any Crytek game, but under a different name perhaps). 

Joining Higher Level Character

Could have the lower SL character join the higher level one.  In doing so the lower SL character will increase in stats to higher character SL -1, (with all the stat increases and everything else). To work in Demon's Souls a formula for % of each stat per the total would have to be used in how to lvl that person up.

Joining a Lower Level Character

The Higher sl character would join a much lower level person.  In doing so the higher SL character will decrease their SL to equal that of the lower level character.  Just like above, a % of each stat against the total would have to be used in how to distribute points.  

 

The side kicking system is a bit more complicated that that, but for DS something this simple would work great.
