Subdivision Algorithm

This may be a silly question, but is there any way to use the "Subdivision Algorithm" (i.e., gmsh.option.setNumber("Mesh.SubdivisionAlgorithm", 1)) on specific surfaces, rather than applying it to the entire mesh?

The reason I'm asking is that I'm making a 2D mesh generation script that makes many transfinite surfaces and then one (or I guess it could be a few) surface which uses other mesh size fields to control the mesh size. The mesh needs to be all quads, so I know the subdivision will be required.

Due to the nature of the mesh, I know that any remaining triangles, after "recombine all" would be on the non-transfinite surfaces, so it would be nice to only apply the subdivision algorithm to the non-transfinite surfaces. Is this possible?
