As a temporary workaround you should remember that you can open more instances of Chrome (this is better than the sub-tab option). Sub-tabbing will create a lot of confusion. You'll have to remember to which page you assigned the "children" tab. As I can see, the solution implemented by Firefox (an arrow on the right with a drop-down list of ALL the open tabs) will work better than a 2-rows solution (which will be annoying, just like the double- height "start" menu on windows).
