In this paper, we extend that model and consider <i>weak repulsion</i>, by letting both the temperature and the distance between interfaces scale with the length of the polymer. We obtain a full diagram for this model, showing the behaviour of the polymer depending on the scaling exponents associated to the repulsion and the spacing parameters. When the repulsion is not too weak compared to the interface spacing, we obtain different regimes that extend those obtained by Caravenna and Pétrélis, and either finitely or infinitely many interfaces are visited. When the two exponents match we obtain a diffusive regime with a non-trivial and temperature-dependent diffusion constant.

Using that, we recover the \"0D cavity\" functional originally found by Lafuente and Cuesta and derive an extension by applying a more general \"cluster density functional theory\" method introduced by Lafuente and Cuesta as well.
