Sorry for the slow replies. I have not had time to catch up with the
backlog in my orgmode inbox recently, so I previously missed this
thread :-(

Doh, I made a braino :-( It's probably much simpler request than I
made it sound; should read:
| Once a custom command has been invoked, provide a binding to a
| single keystroke for going straight back from the *Org Agenda*
| buffer to the *Agenda Commands* buffer, in order to be able to run
| another custom command.
An example workflow:
1. call `org-agenda' to obtain the *Agenda Commands* buffer
2. invoke any custom command (not necessarily a sub-keymap)
3. do some stuff in the resulting *Org Agenda* buffer
4. press a single-letter keystroke to switch the buffer displayed in
the current window (i.e. the one containing *Org Agenda*) back
to *Agenda Commands*
5. go to step 2.

Correct. It's effectively a more generic version of "Press `C-u r' to
search again with new search string".

That defaults to the wrong buffer for me, maybe because I'm using
ido.el. For me, it's important that it be bound to a single keystroke
rather than a chord, since I want to be able to iterate over steps
2--5 many times and rapidly. According to `describe-bindings', the
following letters are still unbound in *Org Agenda*: 'e', 'k', 'u',
'v', and 'z'. I can't think of a good mnemonic for binding any of
these to this operation. My preferred solution would be the
following, though I would understand if it was rejected on the grounds
of being too disruptive to what users are used to:
- rebind 'r' to this operation, since 'redo' or 'repeat' is the most
obvious mnemonic,
- rebind 'g' to `org-agenda-redo', since 'g' is a universal emacs
keybinding meaning 'refresh the current buffer display', and
- bind 'G' to `org-agenda-toggle-time-grid', since this is a less
frequent operation and hence can be moved to the chord "shift-G"
without causing hassle.

Nothing so advanced :-) But if the above solution were to be
implemented, repeatedly rerunning a mix of sub-keymap and normal
custom commands would be trivial, e.g. to use your example:
C-c a s 1
<do some stuff with resulting *Org Agenda* custom buffer>
r s 2
<do some stuff with resulting *Org Agenda* custom buffer>
r M "match string"
<do some stuff with resulting *Org Agenda* TODO matches buffer>
r L
<do some stuff with resulting timeline buffer>
and so on.
