Yeah, those funds are sprinkled and allocated differently across the investment options (link below).
LINK
Stonerolledaway mentioned that he had allocated a certain percentage to bonds in addition to VITPX. I'm trying to diversify a little bit in this manner as the child gets older. Earlier response indicated that the age-based funds do just that, albeit at a higher ER. If I can manually adjust percentages myself for a lower ER, I was trying to figure out the best way to do that. I cannot find where one of these selections is just a bond fund, though.
ETA: I see now that you were the OP
Were you able to specifically select one or more of these individual funds, for example VASIX?

No I don't believe you can get just Vasix.
You have 12 options and the only way to get Vasix is in Age Based Moderate Track Fund. However, I was able to get the following:
Institutional Total Stock Market Index, Inst Plus (VITPX)
Small Cap Index Fund, Admiral SHares (VSMAX)
Mid-Cap Index Fund, Admiral Shares (VIMAX)
While limited in options at least it is Vanguard funds.
