[Gmsh] subdividing an edge of a transfinite surface

[Dr Colin J. Cotter]

Dear Gmsh,
	I am running an aerodynamics problem which requires different boundary
conditions to be applied on different segments of one side of a box. I
tried to make a mesh using transfinite surface, but received the error
that the surface cannot be meshed using the transfinite algorithm. Have
I done something stupid, or is what I want not possible?

I've included the .geo file to the bottom of this email.

best wishes
