That is not possible. But you may look into the "sparse checkout" feature.
To set it up you can
1) do "svn co --depth immediates" for the repository root
2) and follow it by "svn up --set-depth" for the subfolders that you
are interested in.
If you are on Unixes then you can use wildcards with "svn up", because
it operates on the local filesystem and unix shell does expand
wildcards there.
That would be something like the following (but read the docs first!)
svn co --depth immediates https://repository/Archive/ Archive
svn co up --set-depth immediates Archive/*
svn co up --set-depth infinity Archive/*/trunk
Warning: do not use "sparse checkout" if your server is 1.4.x or
older. It is not really supported by those old server versions.
