My reading of Marvin's reply[1] is that the important thing is the top-level LICENSE and NOTICE file be complete and minimal, which my changes should address, and that derived-source releases should have their own, complete and minimal for their smaller scope, LICENSE and NOTICE files. (Although, that last part may only apply if the derived-source release is distributed via Apache channels, so it may not even be necessary for a PyPI package, but regardless my interpretation is that subdirectory LICENSE and NOTICE files are not really a problem as long as the top-level versions are complete & minimal for the entire distribution.)
