In reading the chapter that talks about svndumpfilter, I couldn't
determine if individual files could be specified for removal.

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/ch05s03.html#svn-ch-5-sect-3.1.3

The command's own usage indicates it's for removing "paths that start
with", not a pattern to search the dumpfile for:

C:\>svndumpfilter help exclude
exclude: Filter out nodes with given prefixes from dumpstream.
usage: svndumpfilter exclude PATH_PREFIX...
