Why this was downvoted? It seems an entirely reasonable and practical question.

Probably by someone who thought he was clever enough to know that it was impossible. Wrong! And not good enough to explain.

As Jomiddnz points out, there's pizzicato. You could also bow one string and pluck another at the same time.
But if you want both notes played with the bow, and don't want the bow to catch the strings in between, the only way is by playing on the top and bottom strings with the bow under the strings. Here's an example (OK, the only example I've found): the last few bars of Flausino Vale's variations on Franz Lehár's Paganini. (Note also the combination of an arco note and pizzicato open strings.)

If you don't want to use that extraordinary technique, then, no.
Are there several bars of rest notated while the player changes bow positions..?

No, only that double-caesura sign in b.112. The piece is for solo violin so the player is at liberty to take their time over this awkward change.
