Subpacketization remains a major obstacle to the practical deployment of coded caching (CC) in multi-antenna wireless networks. In this paper, we propose a low-complexity multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) CC scheme that enables flexible delivery rate adaptation while substantially reducing subpacketization requirements. The proposed design builds on a virtual decomposition of the broadcast channel and extends the shared-cache model to multi-antenna receivers, enabling adaptive selection of feasible user and stream configurations and thereby providing explicit control over the spatial multiplexing gain under linear decodability constraints. Analytical results show that the proposed framework can asymptotically approach the best-known achievable degrees of freedom (DoF) under linear decodability constraints while requiring orders-of-magnitude lower subpacketization than existing schemes. Numerical evaluations further demonstrate that this flexibility yields notable throughput improvements at practical signal-to-noise ratios.
