You can have composite mounts (multiple nested mounts ) but that is essentially a single automount entry so it can't be overly long, I believe. I don't think that having a flat /home space is really an issue, though; it's all memory based so searches will be fast. If making the map is complicated, you could think about using executable automount maps. They allow you a lot of flexibility if the ordinary map structure fails you. An executable automount map is triggered when a lookup is done for an entry in a directory and is created by making the auto_xxx file executable.
