Well, they have a statement on this: 
https://getcomposer.org/doc/faqs/why-can%27t-composer-load-repositories-recursively.md

As composer attempts to look up and download all packages before it 
installs any, I don't see a chance to solve this issue by plugin or 
script without burdening the integrator with additional steps. Maybe 
it's possible to write a plugin to install on the composer installation 
that handles recursive repositories.

Cheers,
Christian
