I don't see an issue here.... just download them with the directory path and them use a simple script (find /your/wget/root -exec mv * /mydir {} \; )to move all the files to a single directory if that is what you want to do.

It's not an issue if wget creates multiple directories and paths because you can move those files very easily after downloading with wget.
