Is there a technical reason why
'breakout' articles can't be article
subpages? In that way they wouldn't be articles in themselves, but
subsets of other articles, and you could judge the notability of an
article in whole without judging its individual components separately.
Maybe a worry that a proliferation of article subpages would make
things unmanageable?
Wikipedia used to have subpages,but went to a flat namespace and never
looked back.

Indeed. What we didn't have in those days though, was transclusion. An
interesting idea would perhaps be to transclude smaller grain portions
of an agglomerated article into it. Not sure if that is a wise idea or not.
