You could change the configure options in the recipe to remove plugins you
don't want as well as removing them from the files listings and packages,
but the amount of work needed is much bigger than the results you can get.
With all that work you can reduce the build by maybe 10 minutes, from 2
hours to 1h50... but how many times do you really need to rebuild
everything?
I think you are already doing it the correct way, which is using only a
subset of all plugins via defines in iOS and the Android.mk list in Android.

Cheers,
Andoni
