Maybe you could have a remote replication cluster whom master only knows and
communicate with your major replication master.

You could then have something like :

1
\- 11
   \- 113
   \- 114
   \- 115
\- 21
   \- 211
   \- 212

And just let 21 know about 1. 211 and 212 would only know about 21.

That could be a way to not let inter-node communication speed down your
replication.
