Actually, it's only abstract, but quite simple.
About the original question you raised (not forgetting patterns), would
something like this do what you want:
(advice-add
'hi-lock-write-interactive-patterns :around
;; also include `hi-lock-file-patterns'
(lambda (f &rest args)
(let ((hi-lock-interactive-patterns
(append hi-lock-interactive-patterns
hi-lock-file-patterns))))
(apply f args)))

I'm not sure I completely understand what you are trying to do.
Generally, you could use directory local variables for storing your
patterns, but these would of course not be automatically updated, what
you presumably want.
Nitpick: instead of activating and deactivating pieces of advice, define
a variable and use it as a flag. The flag says whether the advice
should kick in. In the advice's body, look at the variable and decide
what to do.

Yes, that should work fine. But you can anytime combine any number of
advices into one around advice.
Michael.
