EDIT: Page 13 of the manual, bi-amp. You should be able to do that.
He doesn't need another amp for the subs; he can connect his SUB1 to his powered subwoofer. That is the easiest solution. It's also cheaper than my proposed solution, above.

In my opinion, the bi-amping solution that Yamaha presents is to divert unused power at the rear surrounds to the front mains. I don't quite follow how you would connect the subwoofer in this situation.
At any rate, I personally wouldn't go with a bi-amping solution because a subwoofer likes to eat power and it should have its own dedicated amplifier (and with that, its own power supply). If the bi-amping solution for the subs is achievable, then the Yamaha has to run the mains and the subs, which likely will result in clipping.
