ausearch has one and exactly one entry for each search option that you add to
a command line. Two nodes don't work just as two files or two terminals don't
work. It does however do a partial match. So you could have a naming scheme
that allows search by subnet.
ausearch -n 192.168.1
OK; thanks.
This will not help me though, since the collector has multiple NICs on
different subnets and the hosts I need to extract are all on different
ones. So I end up with the same situation there.

If you patch yours, send it to the list.
Will do.
