Store User Profile Disk in subfolder of share

Is it possible to store User Profile Disk (vhdx) files of an RDS 2012 collection in a subfolder of a share instead of the share itself?

We have several RDS collections and want to store the UPDs of these collections in subfolders in the same share instead of setting up a share for every collection:

So i want to do use these paths for UDP

\\storage\share\rdscollection1
\\storage\share\rdscollection2
\\storage\share\rdscollection3

instead of

\\storage\rdscollection1
\\storage\rdscollection2
\\storage\rdscollection3

Anyone experience with this setup?

I'd like some clarification on how you've implemented a DFS path - whenever I've tried to enter a DFS namespace/path for the UPD location I get an error returned -

Could not create the template VHD. The network location {DFS path} is not available.
