I have a slightly convoluted suggestion, but it works for me for this, and for magazines and anthologies.
Use the Hierarchical option theducks explained to name the series.subseries. Then create a blank / empty book for each of the subseries as a placeholder.
Use the wonderful Manage Series Plugin to number the placeholders as integers and the books within the series with decimals. This keeps it all organized for me.
Using Pern, as an example
Pern.Dragonriders [1] Placeholder / empty book
Pern.Dragonriders [1.01] Dragonflight
Pern.Dragonriders [1.02] Dragon Quest
Pern.Dragonriders [1.03] The White Dragon
Pern.Harper Hall [2] Placeholder
Pern.Harper Hall [2.01] Dragonsong
Pern.Harper Hall [2.02] Dragonsinger
Pern.Renegades [3] Placeholder
Pern.Renegades [3.01] Moreta
etc.
Does this help? I use this to keep track of authors I am following through magazines and anthologies.
