Does this strategy help:

driver.sgm:
<!doctype book public "..." [
<!entity main system "main.sgm">
<!entity % part1files system "part1/driver.ent">
%part1files;
]>
<book>
&main;
</book>

main.sgm:
&part1;

part1/driver.ent:
<!entity part1 system "part1.sgm">
<!entity p1sub1 system "sub1.sgm">
<!entity p1sub2 system "sub2.sgm">

part1/part1.sgm:
<part><title>...</title>
&p1sub1;
&p1sub2;
</part>

part1/sub1.sgm:
<chapter>...</chapter>

part1/sub2.sgm:
<chapter>...</chapter>

Now if you add a new part to part1, you only have to update the 
part1/driver.ent file and the part1.sgm file that references it.
