tails-ux is fine as you are suggesting some new use scenarios. Maybe
tails-dev would be more appropriate as it's our general purpose mailing
list and more people read it.

This looks like #5929 [1] ("Create encrypted persistent volume by
default for plausible deniability"), except that you are proposing
several volumes per USB stick. This would be something different but
once we get #5929, the main security property that you are imagining
would work already. Having multiple persistent storage on a single USB
stick would only save you hardware.
