Well if <MPD Filename> - <Individual submodel> is going to be <Set Number> - <Set Name> - <Sub Model Name> - <Individual model> with the result that you have:

4896 - Roaring Roadsters - Roadster - Chassis.ldr

it is surely excessive. IMHO <Set Number>-<Optional Qualifier> - <Individual submodel> would be enough:

4896-1 - Chassis.ldr instead of 4896 - Roaring Roadsters - Roadster - Chassis.ldr
4896-2 - Motor.ldr instead of 4896 - Roaring Roadsters - Dragster - Motor.ldr

or

928 - Galaxy Explorer.mpd

with

928-1 Minifig.ldr
928-1 Buggy.ldr
928-1 Ship.ldr
928-1 Left back door.ldr
928-1 Right back door.ldr
928-1 Base.ldr
928-1 Baseplates.ldr

However this leaves out the small number of sets of the pre '80s where the set number wasn't unique.
