Of course, it's possible: set-fontset-font can accept ranges of
codepoints and use different font for each range. It doesn't have to
accept only script names.

That part is indeed sub-optimal, but not a catastrophe if they are
displayed independently, i.e. there are no composition rules that
cross the boundary between the blocks.
