Why does opensuse use separate directories under /etc/apache2 for
ssl.crl
ssl.crt ssl.csr ssl.key ssl.prm? Why is that any better than say putting all
the certs in /etc/apache2/sslcerts?

After all, the dirs are just option in
/etc/apache2/vhosts.d/vhost-ssl.conf,
example:

SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl.crt/server.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl.key/server.key

so why have 5 directories if 1 will do?

As was stated on the users list already, this is upstream default, and
there's no reason for openSUSE to deviate from this.
