Have installed the
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/View+Job+Filters
plugin which works fine for all the other views.
Maybe you could try to integrate this too, to help in better filtering the jobs (status, type, regex, disabled, failed, ...)

Another idea:
is it possible to have Views with parameters?
EG: i have 150 jobs... and in one panel usually only fit ~16 jobs nicely
If i create a view for all jobs and want to display the second 16 jobs (without creating a hard view)
like &size=16&page=2
(so this will be independent of my often changing views )
