I have a portfolio site that I would also like to make a demo site for some of my client work. Basically, I would like to serve a subfolder statically along side the WordPress install. For instance, if I have http://example.com/demo/subfolder/index.html that index file would be served directly from Apache rather than WordPress. I have root access to my server, just not sure how to implement this

If the files are static HTML, then you only need to be concerned with name collisions for the directory structure. And if you don’t have anything in WordPress that generates /demo/subfolder/ you don’t have to worry about ignoring it – it’s already ignored.
I have a sandbox folder that I use for a similar purpose as you and haven’t had to implement anything – It’s ignored by WordPress already.
