You at least would need a means to switch off and bypass the converter, and unless you do that with a slide switch on the dongle, there's probably no way to do it via USB.
Did I miss something? Did they find a cute way to control the converter e.g. via the IR, LED or other GPIO on rtl2832? Or would I actually need two of those for the full range?

Even so it still is so cheap and small even carrying two.

I suppose you could repackage two dongles together and run software to activate one or the other. If you felt especially tricky you could put a duplexer onto the antenna feed and run the HF to the modded dongle and VHF+ to the unmodded one.
