You don't mention which version of SVN you're using, but 1.5 introduces
sparse checkouts - you'd use the --depth argument instead of -N - which
should address this issue.
Using your shorthand, you'd do something like:
svn co --depth=files ${parentdir}
svn co dir[1-n]
The first step would check out the parent directory and it's files, but
no sub-directories. The second step fetches sub-directories: repeat for
each sub-directory you want.
If upgrading to SVN 1.5 isn't an option, then I'm afraid I can't helps
;-)
Hope that helps
