Create a template repository with the folders you want in it. Then dump it. Save that file somewhere.

After you create a repo you can do an svnadmin load --ignore-uuid < templatedumpfile

(so you retain the unique uuid in the newly created repo).

You can even create a batch/command for this to do it with one command.
