I recommend:

/repository/
        ProjectA/
                trunk/
                        SubfolderB/
                        SubfolderC/
                branches/
                tags/
        ProjectB/
                trunk/
                        SubfolderF/
                        SubfolderG/
                branches/
                tags/
        ProjectC/
                trunk/
                        whatever/
                branches/
                tags/

In ProjectA/trunk and ProjectB/trunk, set svn:externals to pull in
ProjectC/trunk, or better yet, a specific tag of ProjectC.
