Saved Searches: Recursing hierarchical searches

EDIT: "Recursing" probably isn't the right word here. I was thinking more of something similiar to the the divide-and-conquer algorithm, where a task is split up into a bunch of smaller tasks and then combined back together.

I've been starting to split up my monstrous long "Cleanup" saved search. However, I just wanted to make sure this wouldn't cause any issues.

Example: If I have this hierarchy:

Cleanup
Cleanup.Missing Metadata
Cleanup.Missing Metadata.Missing Page Count
Cleanup.Missing Metadata.Missing Language
Cleanup.Fanfiction
Cleanup.Fanfiction.Fanfics with Errors

Would there be any problem if I nested these?

Cleanup would be
search:"=Cleanup.Missing Metadata" OR search:"=Cleanup.Fanfiction"

While Cleanup.Missing Metadata would be
search:"=Cleanup.Missing Metadata.Missing Page Count" OR search:"=Cleanup.Missing Metadata.Missing Language"

This seems like the best way to split it up, but I don't want to break things!
