'.svn/entries' file and checking out whole tree vs. checking out individual directories

If I checkout a whole tree worth of files and directories recursively,
then the
root's 'entries' file (.svn/entries) contains a 'dir' entry for each
immediate sub-directory.

If instead I checkout all the files in the root (non-recursive) and then
individually checkout each of
the sub-directories recursively, the root's 'entries' file does not
contain an entry
for each of the sub-directories. As a result subsequent operations
performed from
the root don't ripple down the sub-directory trees. For example an 'svn
status' will
show all those sub-directories as '?', not under version control. Is
there any way to do the
sub-directories separately like this and get the 'dir' entries into the
top level 'entries' file?

I need to do them separately because I don't want all of them, some are
excluded.
And some in the working-copy come from a different place in the
repository and are inserted
into this tree.
