The LiveSDK does not support creating a folders path hierarchy. You'd need to create a folder, get its id, and then create the tree of sub-folders under that path.

There is a OneDrive API that does support this functionality, https://dev.onedrive.com/, which allows for both path based lookup, and path hierarchy creation.

To create a folder craft a request like the following, in this example we will create the folder hierarchy a > b > c > d > e in a single request.

POST https://api.onedrive.com/v1.0/drive/root:/a/b/c/d:/children
Content-Type: application/json

{
    "name":"e",
    "folder":{}
}
