Robin,

There's not a good way to do this currently. If we were to add such a
feature, I think it would be best to consider requirements of someone
splitting up a range of hosts or ports to be scanned by different scanners,
similar to John the Ripper's --node option.

For a workaround, here's a command built around Grepable [1] output's
ability to print a list of scanned ports:

nmap --top-ports 200 --exclude $(./nmap --top-ports 100 localhost -Pn -n
-oG - -v | awk -F'[;)]' '/TCP\(/{print $2}')
