How about adding a custom sequence type, that operates on sub-sequences
as elements?

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(cl-defstruct (subseq (:constructor seq-make-subseq (seq))) seq)

(cl-defmethod seq-elt ((seq subseq) n)
  (seq-subseq (subseq-seq seq) n (seq-length seq)))

(cl-defmethod seq-length ((seq subseq))
  (seq-length (subseq-seq seq)))

(cl-defmethod seq-do (fn (seq subseq))
  (seq-do fn (subseq-seq seq)))

;; etc.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

It might not be that efficient either, but at least it doesn't require
more functions.
