Sounds like you might want an offline master key with a couple UIDs and
several subkeys.

Also if I didn't trust a system enough to use any secret key on it I
probably also would not want to expose decrypted messages to that system,
presuming the messages you receive have sensitive/important information in
them.

Something to consider if you really have cause to not trust that computer
might be setting up a dedicated, air-gapped system for
encryption/decryption.
