Well, yes.
In your current project, save your bay as something new (e.g. SAMPLE_STRUCTURE). Then create new empty project (and save as e.g. SAMPLES_EXPORT). Open Project Bay and next to Bay (current project) select "Load and merge from..." - and select your previously saved bay (=SAMPLE_STRUCTURE). Then you will have to expand all your folders in bay to see the actual content (audio files) and select them all (Ctrl+A is your friend here). When all are selected, right click and select "Move/copy file" and then "Copy file to project media directory". When all files get copied, save your project and it's done. Your new project called "SAMPLES_EXPORT.RPP" will be empty (no tracks, items, or wahatever), but the project folder will be full of audio files and Project Bay for the "current project" will contain all your structured samples/audio files).
Just try it.
EDIT: When copying the audio files, you will get as many copy errors at the end how many FOLDERS in bay you have, because as we selected ALL, not only audio files, but also the created folders are selected, but they cannot be copied because they do not exist on disk, you know. So it is OK to have those errors (in fact they are not errors
