I believe the short answer is "no"--there is no standard for subsubsections in man pages.
The issue came up last September on the linux-man
mailing list, where a large volume of man
material is curated, and no one there was aware of any accepted idiom for doing this.
The point I would emphasize is this one: "if you need subsubsections in a man page, [then] the level of discussion for the page overall is too coarse." There is no law against breaking up man pages into multiple documents. groff and Perl do this.
Even the original man
macro package's own man page (1979) went out the door without the SS
subsectioning macro even being documented.
To me this (deliberate?) oversight seems consistent with the original notion of man pages as "terse" documents.
If you had to do it, I would not write my own macro or abuse TP
as discussed in the linux-man
thread. I would probably just use a "run-in heading". In other words, start a paragraph with a heading title in italics or bold.

The Z language does not support an exception mechanism.
Therefore you have to check return values at every point blah blah blah
