The syntax-element /String= is used for concatenating fields, as you would see in [EMAIL PROTECTED] or DirName:/C=AT/ST=Wien/L=....., when you use "openssl x509 -in myCert.pem -noout -text"
The problem for you could be, that C stands for _C_ountry and will be used in another place in the certificate and N, D and R are not defined as fields. Maybe (someone like steve henson could verify) it would be needed to add these identifiers as extensions to allow this syntax with D and N and R. ...
