It's unlikely to help. If there is a timeout during 'svn ls URL' then
there will probably be one during 'svn ls URL/[a-m]*' as well. Won't
the server simply run 'svn ls URL' under the hood and filter the
output?

As I said earlier, checking out lots of individual working copies is
not generally a substitute for checking out a single working copy that
contains the same directories.
