Yeah. I see your points but for me to do that and maintain it without it being a huge mess, I have 2 choices. Either way, it's going to involve uploading at least 7gb.
Choice 1 = Wait a month or so until it nearly reaches 8gb then post 4 2gb links so it looks cleaner. And no confusion. Just 1 time upload and will wait until I get another 2gb of content then upload it. If any link is DMCA'd, I can easily make mirrors since they are on the cloud.
Choice 2 = Maintain separate Mega, Mediafire, and Google Drive folders. Each comic is compressed then uploaded for faster speeds. The downside is that I'd have to upload each comic 3 times instead of once. And I don't know when GDrive or Mediafire will say "No more!" and hope Mega doesn't kill my acct. And any strike means reuploading the entire collection because my service can hold only zip files (not folders) on the cloud so in order to get around that, I'd have to make a separate account on each service and share those files (which is a PITA to track). Also, if they get a strike from DMCA, they may use bots to find other files and it all will be gone.
In both cases, I've gotten DMCA strikes (burner accts) and with folders, it takes much longer and is less secure from DMCA so that's why I really emphasize using the 2gb split files. Now, I don't do "zip.001" or things like that. They're separate. So if you're missing most of one series, it'll all be on one of 2gb files. So if you're missing Mom's Help, that's a 1.5+gb series or if it's The Shepherd's Wife, that's about 700mb or so. You can toss the rest to the recycle bin but pray that bin doesn't start fapping on its own.
