It depends on the schedule options set for the minor leagues.
Personally, I'd recommed breaking up your minor leagues so that they aren't simply a structural copy of your major league. If you look at the real-world Double-A, for example, it contains 30 teams in three leagues (of 8, 10, and 12 teams) as compared to the majors' 30 teams in two leagues. If you were to break up your minor leagues into league sizes and alignments which match the real-world affiliated minor leagues, you would then be able to use the actual minor league schedules included with the game for your minors.
Your AAA level, for example, could be split into two leagues of 12 teams and one of 10 teams. You could then use the Eastern League or Florida State League schedule for the 12-team leagues and either the Southern League or California League schedule for the 10-team league. (Note: the 2008 schedules for the real-world affiliated minor leagues are included with OOTP.)
Or, you might split your AAA into two leagues of 10 teams and one league of 14 teams. Or you could split it into four leagues, with three leagues of 8 teams and one league of 10 teams. And so on.
If you'd like a complete list of the league sizes, alignments, and schedule lengths used by the real minors, just say the word and I'll post it up for you.
