One can have control over this by changing the partitioning scheme. e.g. aa, ab, ac, ... etc. The search and replace tool can help in automating the process. Still, it is better that the @johnelle is seeking other solutions first, as this might not be the ideal solution as you lose a lot of functionality like downloading author metadata.
