An OVA is just a tarfile (uncompressed) that contains all the needed files (the OVF, the vmdk files, and a manifest, plus optional other files). There are no subdirectories, all files are on the top level. You can see how it is created in ova-compose here: https://github.com/vmware/open-vmdk/blob/master/ova-compose/ova-compose.py#L1346 . The only thing to take care of is that the OVF file is the very first file.
But adding that functionality may still be a good idea, so thank you for the suggestion!
