contents Let $p$ be an odd prime and let $S$ be a set of tame primes. We denote by $G_S$ the Galois group of the maximal pro-$p$ extension of $\mathbb{Q}$ unramified outside $S$. We prove that for every finite set of tame primes $S_0$ with $|S_0|\geq 2$, there exists a set $S_1$ consisting of two tame primes such that $G_{S_0\cup S_1}$ has cohomological dimension $2$. This refines a result of Labute. More generally, we establish an analogous result for number fields not containing a primitive $p$-th root of unity, under a suitable splitting condition. Our approach answers a question of Labute, from his seminal paper on mild groups, and combines weighted Zassenhaus filtrations, graph-theoretic methods, and Koch-type presentations. As an application, we solve several cohomological Galois inverse problems with prescribed ramification and splitting. We also provide numerical examples and statistics.
