This is the result I'm looking for:
# mount /dev/node /mnt/intermediate
# mount --bind /mnt/intermediate/sub/dir /final/mountpoint
I'd like to do it in a single command, though, without use of the intermediate mount point, /mnt/intermediate. Is this possible?

Perhaps a symlink could work?ln -s /mnt/intermediate/sub/dir /final/mountpoint(do this while the node is mounted at/mnt/intermediate). then you only need to mount the intermediate.

@Mioriin no, the idea is not to have /mnt/intermediate at all.

Note that it is possible to 1) create a temporary directory withmktemp, 2) unmount the temporary after binding the sub-directory. Otherwise, you need the shiny new mount API which hasn't been merged so far. lore.kernel.org/lkml/… / lore.kernel.org/lkml/…

No, in general you can't mount a sub directory of a file system, unless that file system specifically supports it.
Support for sub directory mounting is sometimes found in network file systems, like NFS or SMB, where you can mount a sub directory of an exported file system.
BTRFS has the option subvol, but that is file system specific.
