So, if your meter tells you that the room requires 1/30 sec. at f4, you would set the flash as if you were shooting at f2. You're fooling the flash into dropping the light output. As a main light source, I would put the flash in A mode, set the ASA on the flash, and use the f-stop which the flash tells you is appropriate for your distance.
