Allright then this can be done. I'll write a little script to merge all the directories and fix the exceptions & see what happens. I wonder why the base installer is not doing this already...

Is it possible to overcome the 4096 character limit in winnt.sif file via combining all the drivers to main directories like "drivers\audio;drivers\chipset;drivers\misc\wireless;drivers\modem;drivers\network;drivers\RAID;drivers\touchpad;drivers\video" from directories like C\A\1....

Will this method break something?? If not, i dont see a reason not to use this method.
