Simple question:
I followed the instructions and now I have a CNAME pointing mydomain.com to my Google Sites site.
I want to add another, pointing mike.mydomain.com to sites.google.com/site/subpages/mike, dave.mydomain.com to .../dave etc.
Is this possible? If so, where do I configure it in Google Sites?
Comment: using site forwarding is not applicable here, since I'd like to have several subdomains.

This is posible, this is the official google help about this topic:
Can I point a CNAME to a subpage on Google Sites?
I quote:
Sites outside of Google Apps
If you own a domain and have access to change the CNAME record, you can map any site created in Google Sites outside of Google Apps (for example, sites.google.com/site) to a custom URL:
Select Manage Site from the More Actions drop-down menu.
Click the Web Address tab.
Enter your custom URL in the Web Address text box, then click the Add button at the top of the page.
Changing your CNAME record
Depending on your domain registrar, you may need to make changes to your CNAME record in order for your site to be mapped:
Sign in to the site where you control your own site with custom URL.
Navigate to your Domain Name Server (DNS) management page. The location and name of this page varies by host, but can generally be found in the Domain Management or Advanced Settings section.
Find the CNAME settings and in the section 'CNAME value or alias,' enter the sub-domain you'd like to map the URL to. The sub-domain for example.com would be Set the CNAME destination to the following address: ghs.googlehosted.com
Save your changes with your domain host.
This is not possible using CNAME.
You may want to use a URL FRAME method if your registrar panel permit it.
