I usually make a plain backup copy of the file, delete the
unwanted changes in the original, record the wanted changes, and
restore the deleted changes from the backup. Sometimes I just
delete the unwanted changes, record, and use undo in the text
editor to get the deleted change back (but that's a little
scary).

But a way to split hunks up in the record dialogue would be
awesome.
