The internal mechanisms of PEP 381 and the way that clients can authenticate the mirrored packages is not compatible with a partial mirror as the index pages are not generated but taken byte-by-byte so they can be verified with PyPIs cryptographic signature on them.
FWIW, those pages use relative URLs for PyPI-hosted packages, which means you could serve those as a redirect in order to implement partial mirroring, at least in theory. ;-)
