I don't think it will help anyone find interest in your articles if you bury them in categories. When you include them in every step of the chain, they appear on the list of articles and have a chance of being exposed among the 8 whose images are shown at the top of the category.

Also, if you keep all of your articles in a category in a category in a category, the only thing people will see at the "top" of the category chain is (C 1) next to the "middle" category, which means that it has a category inside it, but not necessarily any pages associated with the category.

It may be redundant, but the whole point of categories is to make it easier and more interesting for people to filter what they search through.
