I don't know a good solution for this problem... one possible approach might
be:
- make an empty subpatch, call it "patch 1".
- Send a message, "pd-patch1 ojb 10 10 pd real-patch"
Then, send messages to the sub-sub-patch, using "pd-real-patch"
to delete it, "pd-patch1 clear".
I know that's dumb. I don't yet have a good way to do this in general...
