For the most part putting the low volume archives into files won't be too challenging but I though I'd check first to see if there is a way of "combining" the archived messages into the main group's archives which would be so much cleaner (from the user viewpoint).

There's no built-in way of doing this, but you can set the subgroup Settings->Privacy->Visibility setting to Group listed in parent group, messages viewable by parent group members, so this way any main group member can just visit the subgroup and peruse/search/etc that subgroup as normally.? You also set the subgroup to Announcement-only so its archives are "frozen" in time.? That'd be the least amount of work for the mods.

In this case, when one is perusing the main group and want to peruse a subgroup, they can right-click on "Subgroups" on the left menu links and open in a new tab, so this way they can explore the subgroup in a separate screen without affecting what they were doing or where they were in the main group.

If you have a paid group, you may be able to get Groups.io to move the message archives into the main group's message archives for a fee, that has happened in the past but I don't know how much it was.
