No, but it's trivial to do depending on what you want for grouping.
Just use a simple program to break the parts into groups and backup each
group, where a group is either the single file or the size of data under
a directory at level N.
I have a program in awk to take a list of "items" in the form
"size name" and emit multiple files each of which contains the items in
that group. Obviously the max size is a parameter. It's in awk because I
wrote it to backup 10MB hard drives to 400kb floppies under SysIII UNIX
in about 1975... today I'd write it in perl, or even in C and do a more
optimal job, but it works.
Actually, a rewrite to do an optimal job is on my someday list, but
it might run forever to a brute force solution...
