Can't do it with org-export-icalendar-combine-agenda-files as it stands, but
if you look at the code, all it does is:

,----
| (defun org-export-icalendar-combine-agenda-files ()
|   "Export all files in `org-agenda-files' to a single combined iCalendar file.
| The file is stored under the name `org-combined-agenda-icalendar-file'."
|   (interactive)
|   (apply 'org-export-icalendar t (org-agenda-files t)))
`----

so it just applies org-export-icalendar to the list of file that org-agenda-files
returns. All you have to do is massage that list a bit:

(defun mdm/org-export-icalendar-combine-agenda-files-with-exclusions ()
       (interactive)
       (apply 'org-export-icalendar t
              (mdm/exclude '("~/org/foo.org" "~/org/bar.org") (org-agenda-files t))))

(defun mdm/exclude (items lst)
  (if (null lst)
      lst
    (if (member (car lst) items)
	(mdm/exclude items (cdr lst))
      (cons (car lst) (mdm/exclude items (cdr lst))))))

Mostly untested.
