For performance reasons, I think a recursive search would be a problem.

You could always create multiple location entries:

<Location /svn/public>
  DAV svn
  SVNParentPath /srv/svn/public
  AuthzSVNAccessFile /srv/svn.authz
</Location>

<Location /svn/private>
  DAV svn
  SVNParentPath /srv/svn/private
  AuthzSVNAccessFile /srv/svn.authz
</Location>

Users would then need to include /svn/public or /svn/private in their repo
path...

I don't think it is currently supported, but another possible enhancement
would be to allow multiple SVNParentPath directives such as:

<Location /svn>
  DAV svn
  SVNParentPath /srv/svn/public
  SVNParentPath /srv/svn/private
  AuthzSVNAccessFile /srv/svn.authz
</Location>

We would need something like this (if we used SVNParentPath and not
individual SVNPath location entries) due to our limit of 250GB per
mount point in our environment. Having TBs of data is fun...
