Retrieve batch subject span FASTA

I just wanted to see if anyone might have a solution to a problem I am having with retrieving a batch of over 300 FASTA protein sequences. I ran a BLAST search for a fragment of my protein of interest and now have a list of accession numbers with the subject spans of interest. I know that I can retrieve batch sequences with "Batch Entrez," but it will return the entire sequence and I am only interested in the subject spans. It took me about an hour to retrieve 30 manually and I don't want to have to spend another 10 hours on this. Might anyone know how to do this?

You can get the subject sequence directly from BLAST with the option 'sseq'

Have a look at my previous post.
