i have to play a continous a↑ m↑ i↑ i↓a↑ m↑ i↑ i↓-Rasguado over the 10+11, what is VERY difficult for me because of the high speed of the bulerías (compared to soleá)... No doubt about it, the tempo of bulerías makes everything a lot harder, and the only solution is to keep working at it. Most of the development will involve building up strength and endurance, but another important part will involve learning to relax. Tap your foot on the even-numbered beats: 12, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10. That might make you feel like there's a little more space. I noticed that you said "over the 10+11" (I assume you mean beats 10-11). Although that wouldn't be a strange idea, it's much more common and useful to develop some kind of rasgueado with i-m-a over beats 7-10. I recommend you concentrate on that for now. If you develop that first, it will be a lot easier to do the idea you mentioned. Here are some patterns for beats 7-10 (beats separated by commas): i-a-m-i, i-a-m-i, i-a-m-i, i (start with index upstroke) a-m-i-i, a-m-i-i, a-m-i-i, i (ends with index downstroke) a-m-i-i, a-m-i-i, e-a-m-i, i (last ras. starts with little finger) a-m, i-i-a-m, i-i-a-m-i, i (starts on beat 7.5) Notice that the last one has two sixteenths, four sixteenths and a quintuplet.
