In the mean time, why not just write a script to automate exporting 100 revisions at a time?
This is not possible due too the way Special:Export works, you can only specify a page - not a revision from that page - so you will always get the first revision (unless there has been some changes since I last used it). Alternatively there is the toolserver which has every revision on it, so you could always do a small data dump of a limited subset from there, import it into your own wiki, then maybe export it as XML depending on what format your research application takes.
