Is it possible to subdivide scale bar segments in QGIS?

There's a few steps involved:

  1. Create your first scalebar showing kilometers and set the relevant options:

    First scalebar

  1. Select the first scalebar and copy/paste it below the original and set the relevant options:

    Second scalebar

  1. For the copied scalebar, set its Font colour to have an opacity of 0%:

    Item Properties > Fonts and colours > Font colour

    Set opacity

  1. Move the copied scalebar and align it to match the original scalebar. Select both these scalebars and group them:

    Group items

  1. You should hopefully have a scalebar with subdivided segments:

The feature is available in the current QGIS Master 3.13 and in the forthcoming release of QGIS 3.14:
