Directory Conventions are kind of complicated to read

In the Directory Hierarchy Conventions, the phrase: "but instead include them if needed as a subfactor in distinguishing between datasets in the data collection directory level names"
I think could be simplified for readability. I think even something this simple gets the point across, but I could be wrong: "but instead include them if needed in the data collection directory names"
