I think the string value is not ideal, because then the inner mode can't 
cache syntactic information, and reuse it between chunks. This is 
something we probably want to facilitate.

Adapting the current major mode indentation code to work with either 
kind of PREVIOUS-CHUNKS value, looks non-trivial as well.

I don't currently have a better suggestion, though. But this proposal 
could use a corresponding patch to cc-mode.
