I don't think that's possible. We tried something similar awhile ago
and couldn't make it work.

I think the best you can do is put all the user repositories in one
central directory:

/repositories/user1
/repositories/user2

What you mean by "maintain" will dictate how you need to set the
permissions of these repositories. If each user merely needs to be
able to make changes in the config and hooks directories, then chown/
chmod those specific directories so each user can make changes there.
The other directories in each repository need to be writable by
Apache, so probably chown/chmod them so only Apache can write there.

Put symlinks of each user's repository in their home directory if you
like so they can get to them more easily.

In the Apache configuration, use "SVNParentPath /repositories"
instead of "SVNPath".

The repositories would then be accessed, given the rest of the
directives you showed, via http://pojects.server.test/svn/user1 and
such.

Figuring out the Apache access permissions such that each user will
be able to commit to their repository but not others' repositories is
left as an exercise for someone else.
