There's currently no way to have 2 levels of submailboxes. I'm a big fan 
of general features, but in this case I failed :)

I'm not really sure what else you can do. If there are only a few 
organizations then you could create them manually and leave out the 
organization in the mailbox names. Or create smart mailboxes for the few 
large organizations manually and then have a different mailbox for the 
rest (which uses the None feature to exclude the ones already covered by 
the large ones).
