I'm not sure if I catch the logic here :-) The subkeys are used for different operations (sign, authenticate, encrypt) and for key-rollover (to achieve a certain amount of PFS (perfect forward secrecy)). The latter actually requires that one does not encrypt to any older subkeys even if they are still valid - the owner of the key might have already deleted that key.
