I wouldn't be so sure.

How does qmail decide about the <number> subdir: It finds out the 
inode of the file just created, and takes this number modulo 23 (or, 
more precisely, modulo `head -1 conf-split`). It also assumes that a 
simple move of the file from intd(?) to mess doesn't change the 
inode number.

It shows that it's not possible to split the queue/mess that way.
