The authz file only has directory granularity. However, if
you only need to restrict write access (not read), you could
write a hook script to disallow the write based upon the path
and username combo.

The svnperms.py script works as a hook script, and supports
regex for the paths, so it might work. (Just never tried
it for individual files.)
