I have reduced the amount of properties per ZClass by putting some often
used properties in a base class and reusing them in the derived classes.
For example: name and nickname. The same goes for the DTML methods that
define the look and feel. The only thing that is in the subclasses is
the way of listing subobjects and adding a link of stuff that can be added.
The rest is done in a general DocumentFolderClass.

Have a look at the ZDP-Tools. http://www.zope.org/Members/roeder
