I'm using mirrorbrain for the raspbian project and while most mirrors carry our
whole tree sometimes we get mirrors which we would like to use but that only
carry part of our file tree. It would be very handy if mirrorbrain would support
this by having a prefix that is added to filenames when scanning and removed
from filenames before redirecting.

Yes, a logical approach. I had similar situations in the past, but mostly solved
them by talking to the mirror admin to change their setup, but it is often hard to
reach them, and one doesn't want to hassle them.

It requires a field in the database for storing the missing path segment, and then
using it exactly how you describe.

Existing databases need to be migrated.
