If you have that guarantee, then do first tell ViewVC you don't need the
root name to be part of the URL:

   root_as_url_component = 0

Then ensure that default_root is set to the repository served by that ViewVC
instance:

   default_root = repos_a

If you want, you can also remove 'roots' from the list of in the
'allowed_views' option.  (Just to avoid showing your users a view option
that's pointless in your situation.
