I think the distinction is it would clearly be a subset of another
article that you couldn't reach without realizing it was a subpage,
not a full article - with an appropriate header like
{{article-subpage}} leading anyone following a search hit to the full
article. As it stands, these episode articles get hit as individual
articles without being viewed necessarily as part of a larger
structure. You could maybe solve some of the same problems with
portals, I don't know.

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.
