Can printers staple select portions of a document?

I tried to answer this SO question about extracting the
stapling commands from PPD files.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64574143/stapling-in-postscript-file-on-ricoh-or-keyoceria-or-toshiba-printers

But the OP commented that he needs to staple select portions
of the document, not the whole thing. Is this possible in general
or with specific printers like the Ricoh Afficio 2105?

I'd like to provide further help to the OP, but this is outside
my expertise. I imagine you'd need to redirect the specific
pages to the collator and then trigger the stapling and then ...
automatically move these stapled packets to another output tray?
It's this last step that seems unlikely. Any ideas?

Thanks to a private response it appears the solution is to break up
the document into smaller documents that can be stapled as a unit.
