On the 320/330 aircraft, are the inboard and outboard spoilers able to be deployed independently?

I ask this as "splitting the spoilers" is an excellent solution to pitch problems on some swept wing aircraft I have operated. For example a jammed stabilizer. To lower the nose, outboard spoilers can be inhibited and the required amount of inboard spoiler can be applied for the required results.

This maybe a possible solution to getting the AoA reduced in a stalled condition if all else fails and as a last resort.
