I'm not sure this is the best way to do it, but this works.

(setq org-agenda-files (append
                        '("~/.life-in-plain-text/")
                        (file-expand-wildcards
                         "/tmp/projects/*/projects.org")))

AFAIK, there's no way out. Agenda needs all those buffers to be open, to work.
