Sure, you just route the board as usual, and in a post-processing step
you retain the same net topology but you achieve it by cutting up a plane.
PCB would need a new exporter, and you wouldn't have direct control over
the output (you'd probably end up drawing some spurious traces to steer
it), but it could be done.
