Can you use symlinks?
There's a limit of 32000 subdirectories in each directory, but AFAIK
there's virtually no limit on the number of files in a directory.

But ext2 is slow with thousands of entries in one directory, you should
definitively use subdirectories and mod rewrite.

Or try reiserfs, they have optimized their filesystem for lots of
entries in one directory.
