A more practical use of CNAMEs regarding DKIM might be more like this:

foo._domainkey.sub1.domain.com   CNAME foo._domainkey.com
foo._domainkey.sub2.domain.com   CNAME foo._domainkey.com
foo._domainkey.sub3.domain.com   CNAME foo._domainkey.com
foo._domainkey.sub4.domain.com   TXT "subdomain 4 key record"
foo._domainkey.com  TXT "normal domain key record"
