So is there a way around this? Creating a CustomAction in a DLL I write that
spawns the msiexec application against the MSI's maybe?

sufficient?
You definitely need to know MSI -- WiX concepts are almost direct mappings to
MSI functionality (except the custom actions, which are all WiX-specific).
In this case, MSI no longer supports "nested installations" so there's nothing
WiX can do. A bootstrapper is in development, to allow you to chain multiple
MSIs together.
