I dont know.  I dont think you can.

Note that with your current setup the balance in the account tree will
be correct, and you can still reconcile the account+subaccounts as if
it were a single account.  So that works correctly to.  The only thing
you cannot do with your current layout is a "check register".  Small
sacrifice.
