my problem with 'exclude edges' in analyze particles

I'm creating a macro that will split up dots in a densely packed image and count them.
in order to maximise accuracy, I'm splitting the image up and optimising each region for the count.
the problem is, Analyze particles has an exclude edges function for all four edges, but not just two, thus I can either double count a load of dots, or miss out a load of dots completely

if there's a way to exclude only two edges, this would be ideal, although if anyone knows an alternative method that would also be great,

Thanks
