string archiveListUrl = "http://myserver/Archive/";
SPSite site;
SPWeb web;
SPDocumentLibrary library;

using (site = new SPSite(archiveListUrl))
using (web = site.OpenWeb())
{
   library = (SPDocumentLibrary)web.Lists["Archive"];
   web.Folders.Add(archiveListUrl + "Help");
   web.Folders.Add(archiveListUrl + "News");
   web.Folders.Add(archiveListUrl + "Doc");
   web.Folders.Add(archiveListUrl + "New Doc Library");
   library.Update();
}

Thats difficult: Workflows are are always attached to one document/item. One thing you could do: Create the Library from a customized template - and you can customize this lib with an workflow to start on creation of a doc. Then add a document to the library and save the whole thing as template with content.

(Actually you might check if creating a lib template with existing folders might be easier...)
