That could be very handy -- a case in point is Karg-Elert's Chacconne, 
op. 153, no. 12, one bar before section 19, where there's  a bar of 3/4 
time filled with 24 32nd notes, subdivided at every level.  What I mean 
is, there are 4 32nd notes, joined with 3 beams (as normal); then every 
two lots of 4 32nds are join by 2 beams, and the whole lot is joined by 
one beam.
