One way to do it would be to NOT invoke the "Since Last Run"

UNTIL 

you have gone into the SchedTXN editor and disabled all bar the one
that you want to process, at any given time

THEN 

run "Since Last Run".

You could even leave them all disbaled, until you feel happy handling
them all, or re-enable them, one by one, as you see fit.

Depending on how many SchedTXN-s you have, it might be an awful lot
of clicking through the various GUI dialogs, but as to whether it's
more work than changing each status from "To-Create" to "Reminder",
...


Of course, as someone who wishes more people would make themselves
more familiar with the plain text, XML, storage format files, I am
duty bound to suggest that, having backed up your file, you could
open it up in a text editor and simply change all of the

  <sx:enabled>y</sx:enabled>

to 

  <sx:enabled>n</sx:enabled>

except for the SchedTXN you want, and after going back into the GUI
to do the "Since Last Run", reverse the plain-text editing operation
to put them all back to "enabled".
