You can use the subdataset name as a valid connexion string, or you can 
generate a XML description file from the subdataset name with something like :

gdal_translate 
"WMS:http://demo.opengeo.org/geoserver/wms?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&LAYERS=og:0&SRS=EPSG:4326&BBOX=-180.0,-90.000000000036,180.000000000072,90.0" 
out.xml -of WMS
