createrepo already support a nested structure, What do you think about
that?.
If space is a concern, have you considered simply using a caching proxy?
space is not a concern, network usage is.
Yes, but still it is a problem to make available for installation (not
only updates) groups of packages when network connection is not fast
enough (a common problem in my country, and I think in others too), It
is easier to setup rsync at night time, and leave the little bandwidth
available for daily operations
I maintain local mirrors of updates to the packages on the original DVD
plus a few selected others (e.g. additional dependencies required by
updates but not the original versions of those packages):

This approach could easily be tweaked to use an arbitrary set of
packages rather than the package set on the original install media.
