I got an older version (0.9.5)... all of this makes me think that it
probably is better to just use .ics files for everything. Just found out
that google offers a 'private' link to each calendar as xml, ical or
html so that you can easily download it using wget without needing to
log in...

You can point google calendar to an .ics file and it will import it
(settings->import calendar) (see [1]), so I would think you could create
different .ics files via org-export-icalendar-..., upload them to a
public webpage (but with a cryptic name and directory browsing disabled,
so that only you and google calendar can find the files) and google
imports them as different calendars and updates them too.
