Create Server makes it clear it does not exist within a schema.

pg_dump has a note:

"Non-schema objects such as large objects are not dumped when -n is
specified. You can add large objects back to the dump with the
--large-objects switch."

The absence of any corresponding --server option in pg_dump to accomplish
the same for the server non-schema object means that what you want to do is
not presently possible.

Since you are doing partial dumps anyway - dump the non-schema objects
first (-N *) ? then dump the desired schemas? Then just perform two
restores.
