I tend to set categories on any task with lots of subtasks for the same reason.
I do this by setting the CATEGORY property on the top level task, usually by
hand as I want to keep the category names short. I think the inline #+CATEGORY
lines are deprecated in favour of using properties.
Add the following to your .emacs;
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(add-hook 'org-after-todo-state-change-hook
(lambda ()
(if (string= state "CATEGORY")
(save-excursion
(org-back-to-heading)
(org-set-property "CATEGORY"
(nth 4 (org-heading-components)))))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
When you set the todo state of an entry to CATEGORY, it will copy the headline
text to the CATEGORY property.
James
