I think that is the best/easiest option.

Unfortunately not, buildroot only knows of a single rootfs - So you'll
need to build the 2 rootfs'es seperately.
The only other option I could think of is perhaps to combine the two
rootfs'es and include the factory test sw in the device rootfs if that's
an option?
