We have 2 tables which are roughly half the size of the entire database { ~1.5GB}. These 2 tables are rarely changed {1-2 times a quarter}.

Is there a way in mysqldump to exclude these two tables without specifically naming all of the tables { > 100} we want to include?

No. You should specify list of tables in this case.
