There is no problem to add somethig like group-endgroup pair inside centerline, if it will really help you (or I can use just begin-end pair if you wish).
Then it could be rewritten this way:
centreline
calibrate tape 1
1 2 10 0 0
group
calibrate tape 2
2 3 10 0 0
endgroup
3 4 10 0 0
endcentreline
Or do you see some other trivial solution of this problem?

In general the SD is defined in a separate file which I *include in the survex data. Having to undo that separation when using therion, and repeat the definition of the SD, is a shame, and makes converting data harder (as I first attempt I've usually just ignored changes in SD and put a comment in the .th file).
