You have to nest keymaps to create chained keybindings:

(define example-keymap (make-keymap))
(bind-keys example-keymap "b" 'sawfish-ui)
(bind-keys global-keymap "C-c" example-keymap)

The above is untested, but based on working code I have in my
sawfishrc.  It would probably be simple enough to create a function that
would handle nesting the keymaps for you, so that chained bindings could
be defined like you want, but I've never gotten around to it.
