“My existing range circuit is 240V 40 Amps. I see that the specs for this range is 240V 48.3A. Can I use this range on my existing 40A circuit, with the understanding that I will not be able to use all cooktops and the oven at the same time?”

You need to pose this question to an electrician. You can replace the 40 amp breaker with a 50 amp breaker, but only the the house wiring is sized large enough to safely handle the 50 amps. It isn't a good idea to only use some of the burners or oven. Someone will try it sooner or later and trip the breaker. You don't want to repeatedly trip the breaker.
