No, you have to restore the entire backup. You could create a current backup in iTunes, restore to your iCloud backup, save the data from the backup that you're looking for, then restore back to your iTunes backup. Not all recoverd data, however, can be synced back to your phone but this is an effective way to recover some data (such as photos).
