I know of some externals, for example iemlib, that already put their
help-files into subdirectories. iemlib for exampls looks in
doc/5.reference/iemhelp/

In the source, this is achieved by setting the path relative to the
default help path: 
    
    class_sethelpsymbol(t3_delay_class, gensym("iemhelp/help-t3_delay"));

I did this, too, once.

ciao
