How about:
                  /       /  
------800V------>|------>|--------/\/\/-----600v----<load>----
                /       /           R                         |
              100V zener 100V    (I limit)                  <GND>

You may be able to find one 200V zener, I'm not sure, though.  Choose 
zeners of sufficient current capability for your application.
