Much of the cost is associated with maintaining compliance itself, rather than the act of registering with FinCEN per se. "Registering" in a state is less about actually registering as it is with maintaining compliance with that state's laws.
The method you describe doesn't circumvent the resources required to ensure compliance, since essentially the same resources would be required for the businesses to operate separately as would be required as subsidiaries. It seems that this tactic would only be beneficial to very small-scale operations who wouldn't require a full time compliance staff / officer. In this case, compliance offers could be split among numerous subsidiaries, however I don't think this would provide a substantial benefit over simply hiring a part time compliance officer.
