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.
