Perhaps you could implement the table view's delegate methods:

tableView(_:shouldHighlightRowAtIndexPath:)

and

tableView(_:didSelectRowAtIndexPath:)

...and determine (from indexPath.row and indexPath.section) if the relevant section supports single/multiple selection (this will depend on your data model's custom logic -e.g.: "Section 0 supports multiple selection but section 1 does not"), and if it only supports single selection, check whether there is already a row selected (by accessing tableView.indexPathsForSelectedRows).

If there is a selected row already, you can:

1. Return false from tableView(_:shouldHighlightRowAtIndexPath:), and
2. Do nothing (just return) from tableView(_:didSelectRowAtIndexPath:) (I'm not sure if this method is actually called when you return false from shouldHighlight..., so perhaps check it).
