Who is the "I" in the last sentence? A file will be stored in the folder 
the TCA denotes. By convention the folder should have the TYPO3 extension 
name in it. This makes sense and should not be changed.

For new data the TCA could be changed to have "uploadHash" property. The 
contents denote how many letters of the md5 hash of the file name shall be 
appended to the folder name.

directory/name_of_typo3_extension/first_N_letters_of_filename_hash/filename

Note: I suggest hashes for better distribution.
