This method is in effect MIP-Mapping, something that OpenGL already does well
for texture maps.  I have fiddled a bit with it in viewnup with a fiar bit of
success (zooming in and out of a volume). It appears that netCDF is pretty fast
at this sort of thing (jumping through a volume with a step size).

I also agree with your comments, a number of MINC files on disk would in effect
do this a whole lot more transparently.  (and be implementable with
mincresample!)
