According to the following: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/composer-dev/CS_I0FNMHwY

You can set a Vendor Path like so:

{ 
  "config": { 
    "vendor-dir": "libs/" 
  } 
}

Looking at this question How to get multiple vendor directories with composer?, it appears you cannot set two different paths for vendor files (not sure if you will need to do this also), but the questions shows that with a symlnk this can be achieved.
