That's OK.  It's not exactly obvious how this would be done.

No.

If you're using Amanda 2.4.2 or later, it would look like this (I think --
I only did minimal testing):

  202.85.164.38 /home    {
                            # Do /home/a through /home/k.
                            comp-root-tar
                            exclude "./[l-z]*"
                         }
  202.85.164.38 /home/.  {
                            # Do /home/l through /home/z.
                            comp-root-tar
                            exclude "./[a-k]*"
                         }

If you're running something older than 2.4.2 (or this will work for
2.4.2 as well), add this to amanda.conf:

  dumptype comp-root-tar-a-k {

    # This dumptype is just like comp-root-tar (it inherits it) but does
    # only areas starting with a through k (excludes l through z).

    comp-root-tar
    exclude "./[l-z]*"
  }

  dumptype comp-root-tar-l-z {

    # Like above but does l through z (excludes a through k).

    comp-root-tar
    exclude "./[a-k]*"
  }

Then your disklist would look like this:

  202.85.164.38 /home    comp-root-tar-a-k
  202.85.164.38 /home/.  comp-root-tar-l-z
