It's not directly possible there are no nested rules in Mail, but you could try to express your "any" sub rules by defining a group in AddressBook:

Replace

If any of

from: email@address-A

from: email@address-B

from: email@address-C

from: email@address-D

by "Sender is member of group", if it is possible to separate the email addresses you want in a group.

To define your group, use Address Book: New -> Group and drag the contacts to the new group.
