As pointed out above, using F5 Bar Settings will allow you to reset to a new and slower Tempo at the highlighted bar, but the slower tempo will indeed take place for the entire bar.

And it is important to remember to go to the next bar and set the Tempo back to the original one.

If you need to have a ritard cover a bar and each successive note be played a little bit later in time, you could spread it out into up to 4 1-beat bars, enter the chord for each beat and then use F5 tempo changes on each of those 1-beat bars, slowing it down by the same percentage for each bar. Then, of course, don't forget to F5 the following bar and set the Tempo back to original, as well.
