That would have to be done with your own Arduino sketch and our message port library.

The adafruit gfx lib with hardware SPI and the appropriate 1306 via Earle Philhower's pico core for Arduino IDE is probably the best bet as the 'wire' and 'spi' libs are fully compatible and optimised. Use a pi Pico and the SI Messageport lib as Ralph says.
I wouldn't bother with the I2C version of the display due to limited addressing although if you have them then you can just add a TCA9548A port expander if needed. They are less than a euro for an 8 port breakout. You can still use the hardware 'wire' lib on the pico also.
