It's not possible with the current firmware, but would be possible with
some firmware modifications.  You could add a control message that set the
limited set of channels (or use the set_afh_map command) and then set the
desired hopping method.

I assume you're not trying to follow a connection, but are more interested
in monitoring a section of the spectrum?  So you want to break the spectrum
up in to six parts and use an Ubertooth in sweep mode in each?

Have you also considered using a software defined radio implementation?
You would still need multiple radio devices (such as HackRF), but it may be
an interesting alternate angle to the problem.
