The answer is pretty straightforward, just a few arguments:
nvlc -I dummy input_file.mp3 --start-time 30 --stop-time 35 --sout file/mp3:output_file.mp3 vlc://quit
where input_file.mp3 and output_file.mp3 are the input and output files, as would be expected. The --start-time and --stop-time arguments are in seconds (can be sub-second if desired) since the beginning of the file. So in this example, the resulting file will be just 5 seconds long. The -I dummy disables the UI, while the trailing vlc://quit avoids needing to force-quit it after it finishes the conversion.
You can listen to the file first to figure out the start and stop times.
