AFAIK you cannot do this with mysqldump. But you can use the SELECT ...
INTO OUTFILE syntax, in some way like this:
SELECT * FROM my_table INTO OUTFILE "some_records" WHERE id BETWEEN
200 AND 400
or (from the manual ;-)
SELECT a,b,a+b INTO OUTFILE "/tmp/result.text"
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY "\n"
FROM test_table
WHERE id BETWEEN 200 AND 400
Check: http://www.mysql.com/doc/S/E/SELECT.html
