I am not sure exactly how to elegantly do what you wish to do, but
if your tag list is not too extensive, you may be able to simply
exclude all the tags you don't want. If you do not currently have a
complete list of tags, you can get one by attempting to add a tag to
headline by calling C-q and then pressing tab. That should give you
a completions buffer with a list that includes all tags in the
current .org file.  Then just add all the tags you don't want to
org-export exclude tags or to an #+EXCLUDE_TAGS line.

It's not elegant but it should work.

Hope this helps,

All the best,

Leonard
