Remember there are other issues here. If you can reduce the oiling up (or down) you will reduce the problem.
As stated, run the engines hot, change the plugs to a higher heat range and do not run a too rich mixture.
But also consider stuck rings and type of lubricant. If you are on non-detergent oil a change to detergent (with care as lots of sludge may be carried around the engine in short time) might improve things, or might make the oil burning worse! Changing to a synthetic will reduce the losses too (I have found this to be the case in my daily transport).
Maybe new or just an addition of oil seals on the inlet valve stems is required, if the oil is going in that way.
Just some suggestions other than simply answering your question. I remember dismantling plugs for cleaning on a fairly regular basis. I still have some but do not use them now.
You may need to consider some form of overhaul soon, so it may be prudent to start to do regular compression tests to give a base-line figure before deciding how far the remedial work extends.
