Depending on your personal ordering sheme a simple link could do. I use multiple disk just by having a directory "Other disks" on my main vdr disk with links to the other disks containing archived recordings. I do make sure that the "main" disk always has enough free space (which is really no big deal with a 3TB disk).
I once did use that old functionality of vdr doing the distribuition, but really don't miss it. Much simpler now.
Greetings (and a very big thanks to Klaus. I am a very happy vdr user since the very first days - missed a one diget user number just because i ignored your mail while on leave for a holiday ;-)

I wanted to get this out of the core VDR code. It was a makeshift solution in times where disk sizes were still relatively small. Nowadays we have disk sizes in the terabyte range, which should be enough for a VDR.
It is certainly not enough for me, and I will never run VDR without being able to spread directories over disks. I always have several disks, right now 4 of them. When the capacity of modern disks sharply increases, I remove my oldest disk or the one most aged (smartctl) and add a new one. Over the years, this has proven to be very simple and reliable. Your removal of functionality makes that impossible.
All I did was to remove the functionality from the core VDR code and provide a plugin interface that can be used to re-implement it. I'm pretty sure somebody will write such a plugin (and it will probably have tons of setup parameters, bells and whistles ;-).
