just do it:
a) use extension templates on the subpages
b) use typoscript-conditions to build all in one typoscript


while in root you defined something like:
page.10.MAINCONTENTSECTION < styles.content.get

you can replace it in the ext-templates or teh specific conditions with 
something like this:

page.10.MAINCONTENTSECTION >
page.10.MAINCONTENTSECTION = COA
page.10.MAINCONTENTSECTION {
	10 < styles.content.get
	10.wrap = <div id="main">|</div>
	
	20 < styles.content.getRight
	20.wrap = <div id="right">|</div>

	wrap = <div id="variant1">|</div>
}


as always different approches are possible:
if all subpages use the same layout you may use the field "include 
template on next level"

or use conditions regarding the page-ids:
[PIDinRootline = pages-uid, pages-uid, ...]

or better: use conditions on the page-fields layout/BE-layout:
[globalVar = TSFE:page|layout = 1]
[globalVar = TSFE:page|backend_layout = 1]
so an editor can decide for each individual page which layout is 
appropiate (have the default the most used layout, maybe you just need 
to have a special layout for 'Home')
