Migration split between 2 target drives?

my backup is bigger than my new computer's internal hard drive. I also have an external hard drive (separate from the backup drive). Neither one is big enough to hold my entire backup, but together they are enough. Can i specify which drive to migrate which information to?

No, not with migration assistant which is a big gulp to the boot drive. With an interactive Time Machine Restore, you can be selective of what goes on the new computer drive, and afterward, the external drive.
