Well, why not 

toplevelsubject/galleries/...
toplevelsubject/events/...

You can nest routes in any arbitrary way. However, if your "toplevelsubject" is 
a name the user can choose, i'd recommend not placing it at the beginning of 
the url - it will sooner or later collide with something else you'd like to 
place there.
