Hey DollFingers, thanks for posting here!
The process that you described is how I'd also do it on my end, if I'm being honest.
Keep in mind that you can only download a folder if it’s less than 250 GB (uncompressed) and has fewer than 10,000 total files.
Instead of creating individual folders you could try downloading specific files at a time, (let's say 1K files) but I'm guessing having the content into folders is indeed more convenient.
In any case, this thread will remain open, and our Community users are more than welcome to leave a comment, and suggestions on how you could go on about this.
Have a great week ahead!
