No there is no better solution in Subversion. You commit a file, so
all changes in that file are always included.

If I am ever in that situation I make a backup copy of the file, then
use TortoiseMerge to undo the bits I don't want in the first commit.
After I have committed the first set of changes, I overwrite the
partly undone file with my backup and commit again to get the rest of
the changes.
