I know you said you want to do this from C++ and not the console. In case
you did want to do it from the console... there's an open option for
gdal_translate to pluck a particular overview level out, like so:

gdal_translate in.tif out.tif -oo OVERVIEW_LEVEL=1

You might be able to do this with cleverly named overviews, like so:

gdal_translate in.tif out.tif.ovr -oo OVERVIEW_LEVEL=2

gdal_translate in.tif out.tif.ovr.ovr -oo OVERVIEW_LEVEL=3

...


and then one final translate which uses all the overviews to a new final
TIF.

Cheers,
Pete
