I think a combination of generators and the PartOf= stuff you've mentioned recently should suffice for this (e.g. a generator for openvpn could look for /etc/openvpn/*.conf and create instances for each file it finds all controlled (and started by) a common target and stopped when the target is stopped, but with independent control when needed also (cf.
