The brute force way would be
...
<property name="pt1" value="/base/rootdir/subdir1/"/>
<property name="pt2" value="subdir2/subdir3/subdir4"/>
<property name="longdir" value="${pt1}${pt2}"/>
...
Although you might prefer a ${base} property that has the common root and
concatenate that with specific sub-paths whenever you need them.
