No, there is no such possibility. You have to repeat calibration every time it changes. I would rewrite your example this way:

  encoding iso8859-1
    survey test -title "test"
      centreline
      calibrate tape 1
      1 2 10 0 0
      calibrate tape 2
      2 3 10 0 0
      calibrate tape 1
      3 4 10 0 0
    endcentreline
  endsurvey

I'm just wondering, whether these situations are so common...
