You can examine :export-options value in the INFO plist.
The value is a list with up to 3 elements: 'subtree, 'visible-only, and
'body-only.

In your backend :filters-alist, you can define a :filter-options filter
that will set :md-toplevel-hlevel option as needed, before the export
starts.

The :filter-options filter is there to pre-process export options
programatically, just as you describe.
