Multiple Unicode-Range Export (Webfont)

Hi, I'm considering splitting a CJK font in more digestible bite-sizes for webfont purposes in a similar way Noto does, using unicode-range feature.
For reference, here is an example of Noto Sans JP split in 120 woff2 of about 60kb each.
https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Noto+Sans+JP:wght@100..900&family=swap
What's the best way to export the font like this?

Not addressing your immediate question, but this is a technology you might want to keep an eye on: Incremental Font Transfer.1

If you're comfortable with the command line, you can use a tool like fonttools pyftsubset. See https://fonttools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/subset/index.htmlHarfbuzz also has a command line tool that does the same and is faster.0
