I ran into that problem too, and the solution I came up with looks like this:
7171
Names: Mos Espa Podrace
Inventory: by "John Cromer" <cro@astro.caltech.edu>
Count Color ---ID--- Description
1 n/a 7171-sa1 Subassembly box, Anakin's Podracer (7171-sa1)
1 n/a 7171-sa2 Subassembly box, Gasgano's Podracer (7171-sa2)
1 n/a 7171-sa3 Subassembly box, Sebulba's Podracer (7171-sa3)
1 n/a 4129022 Instructions, 4129022
7171-sa1
Names: Anakin's Podracer (Box 4128173-1/3):
Inventory: by "John Cromer" <cro@astro.caltech.edu>
Count Color ---ID--- Description
2 black 3020 plate, 2x4
6 blue ld3941 brick, 2x2, cylindrical
(etc... lots of lines left out here)
7171-sa2
Names: Gasgano's Podracer (Box: 4128174-2/3):
Inventory: by "John Cromer" <cro@astro.caltech.edu>
Count Color ---ID--- Description
4 black 3700 beam, 1x2
(etc... lots of lines left out here)
and so on... you get the idea.
I consider the "sub-box" to be a "component" of the complete set. The sub-box
gets its own inventory, and the software that handles the data can combine the
sub-boxes into a single inventory or not, at its choosing.
By the say, the "sa" in "7171-sa1" stands for "subassembly", a term used in the
administration of assembly-line manufacturing. John Cromer did the inventory
for set 7171 and provided the box numbers including the "1/3", "2/3", etc.
I didn't need to add any fields to my database format. My software just scans
through the data file (a plain text file!) for a line that consists of the
desired set number; then all following lines until the first blank line are
part of the inventory for that set.
