If you set permissions in the Explorer client (/alfresco) you could override the permissions given by the Share roles.

So in your case you could for instance invite users as Site Consumers in Share, then you go to the Explorer client, locate the site in question and invite users to the documentLibrary space as Editors. That way the users should get Editor permissions for all documents and spaces in the document library of the specified site.

Please note that I haven't tried this out myself with the actual roles, but I have used the same principle with other roles.
