There are two reasonable ways to do this -- both involve using the
NcVar::set_cur() method:

    1.  Use NcVar::get() with explict edge lengths:
    
            var.set_cur(2, 0)
            var::get(vals, 3, 2)

    2.  use NcVar::get() with an edge-length array:

            long[2]     counts = {3, 2}
            var.set_cur(2, 0)
            NcVar::get(vals, counts)

(Some of the syntax in the above might be incorrect.)

Please let me know if this helps.
