You don't/can't, with mainline obfs4proxy.

There is no functionality for doing such a thing in mainline obfs4proxy.
What currently will work is any one of:
* Stick a proxy server of your choice behind the obfs4proxy server.
From the application end it will essentially be connecting to a (for
example) SOCKS5 proxy over another SOCKS5 proxy.
* Connect the obfs4proxy server to a load-balancer or reverse-proxy
that re-dispatches requests to the correct location based on the SNI
block or `Host` header (depending on how you want to treat TLS).
