At the start, the file names are handled by procmail.  You just supply
the right syntax.  In this case it would be:

(To put everthing in one nnmaildir group)

cat (partial) .procmailrc

[...]
   MAILDIR=/my_nnmaildir/parent/directory
   
       :0
   my_big_huge_all_inclusive_nnmaildir_folder/

Note the trailing (/).  That notation is all that is required to have
procmail DTR inside MAILDIR.
