Here’s an example book title: “Enemy of the People: The Untold Story of the Journalists Who Opposed Hitler” by Terrence Petty. This is how it saves using the default “Save to Disk” template in Preferences w/ the latest Calibre 5.40 for macOS. In the 2nd image all folder/file names are truncated in the middle for some reason, even with the author folder which isn’t due to potentially having too many characters:

I use Windows 10, and I can save the same title with no truncation - even though Windows has a reputation of imposing greater restrictions on file system path lengths, and allowable characters than MacOS or Linux.
FWIW I would put the subtitle into a separate custom column as shown in the attached screen shots. The replacement of the ':' with '_' is because Windows does not allow
< > : " / \ | ? * in file names.
I am going to put your issue in to its own thread and mark it as MacOS.
