I believe you can shorten that to: + /some/very/ + /some/very/deep/ + /some/very/deep/path/ + /some/very/deep/path/to/ + /some/very/deep/path/to/save/*** - /some/*
You could also exclude /some and then use /some/very/deep/path/to/save as an additional source. I don't know if rsnapshot can handle multiple sources in 1 rsync but rsync itself can.
