First of all, you're not using regular expressions to express the ignore
paths. Quoting the git-svn man page:
--ignore-paths=<regex>

Try using finding some examples of regular expressions used with git-svn,
and try that out. Example:
--ignore-paths='^(?!directory-a|directory-b)'
If there are too many things to exclude, also consider using the
--include-paths option instead.
Is it possible to clone this type of svn repo?

It's been a while since I worked with git-svn, so I can only confirm that
it is non-trivial to ignore paths from being included in the clone like you
want. I believe your case should be possible, but there's always the chance
of bugs, depending on your version of Git, platform, etc etc.
You can also consider just doing a full clone without ignoring, and after
that manually tidy up and delete branches that you don't want to keep.
If no-one here can answer you directly (alas, I lack the time to research
myself), you should ask on the Git developer's mailing list, and please
include mention of similar questions in the past:
* http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/197219
* http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/166255
Here's are some instructions recommended for those writing to the Git list
for the first time: https://gist.github.com/tfnico/4441562
If all else fails, there are other tools than git-svn that can convert
complicated layouts. See for
example http://www.catb.org/esr/reposurgeon/reposurgeon.html
