One of the defining properties of pages is that they are the granularity at which access protections are controlled in hardware, so your choices are a minimum of one page per object, or having multiple objects that share the same protection properties. However, it could be that you could accomplish whatever your goals may be using techniques other than paging; for example, using ptrace(2) to instrument individual accesses, binary rewriting, a virtual machine, source code instrumentation, or other methods along those lines that have been used for debugging and security over the years.
