This should be possible. You'd need to change the download logic and DownloadManager's public 
interface a bit. The starting point (e.g. in updateResource()) by now is a rcc filename. In order to 
determine the filename, following your propsal, you'd need to download Contents *first*.

Of course only if checkDownloadRestriction() == true.

I don't know how your full-rcc build works with respect to the Contents file, it should be packaged 
then.

On the other hand: How often do you expect new country specific locales to be added? With zh_TW 
we'll have three such exceptions. ... Just to weigh the efforts ... ;-)
