The simplest way is to exclude those packages in the first update, and 
then allow them in the second:

emerge -uDU @world --exclude "qtwebengine firefox chromium" && emerge 
-uDU @world

The dependency tracker of portage will of course also exclude packages 
that depend on the excluded packages, unless they themselves have 
updates pending. In that case, they *might* get built twice; once 
against the current version of the excluded packages, and then perhaps 
again on the second run, if there's rebuild triggers involved.

Most of the time though, you won't run into cases of redundant rebuilds. 
Rebuild triggers are not very common.
