Hmm, that does not really work on two different subnets. I have tried
to add a host declaration with fixed-address on the 'static' Subnet B
and one on the dynamic Subnet A with just the MAC address and
ddns-domain-name.

The client won't obtain an IP address on subnet A unless I add a
fixed-address declaration to it, too.
