Plan B: 'svn update -N' -N will do a non-recursive checkout, but it
requires a bit more effort.

svn co -N / # leaves documentation and src empty
svn update src # full checkout of src
svn update -N /documentation # leaves library and procedures empty
cd documentation
svn update /documentation/procedures # full checkout of procedures

End result, library is empty, but everything else is checked-out.
