Assuming that you have also set maildir_use_size_file.

Without an experiment, I'm not sure. I note this comment in the code:
"Maildirs can only be one level deep. However, this function recurses,
so it might cope with deeper nestings."
and in the document I have the describes Maildir++ and folders, it says
"Can folders have subfolders, defined in a recursive fashion? The
answer is no. If you want to have a client with a hierarchy of
folders, emulate it. Pick a hierarchy separator character, say ":".
Then, folder foo/bar is subdirectory .foo:bar."
The experiment you should do is to run a delivery to one of these
mailboxes, as an Exim admin user, using the -d-all+transport flag to get
debugging output for the delivery. This should show the quota
calculations.
