I'm afraid you cannot. You can however use the size of an article to
choose the storage.

The filter_innd.pl interface is rather simple. Basically it returns a
boolean value whether to accept an article or not. I've had plans to
replace it by an tagging engine that allows to assign "attributes" to an
article which can be used for several purpuses: storage, re-distribution
(i.e. feeds), access for certain nnrpd reader access groups only.

This would also allow the features you're asking for. But that's nothing
more than an idea at the moment.
