Yes that's right. You'd also need to produce tiles at lower resolution (ie composting those 8 files together to get a world view).

It's entirely possible to organize these files for use in Zoomify -- it just takes a bit of decoding of Zoomify's file naming structure.

(My other suggestion was to bypass Zoomify altogether, and script the tiling completely using ImageMagick, into a naming structure representing WMS calls)
