[TYPO3] Using count_menuItems to split a menu in two parts

Thanks for the tips on TS.  Sometimes it's hard to understand it.

I'm already using optionSplit, but I have this menuitems in different pages:

one|two|three|red|white

six|seven|eight|nine|red|white

I wanted to have all menu items but the last two (red and white) so that 
I could deal with them easier.  There is an image in between and it's a 
long long optionSplit to get that working.  The only way I could find to 
isolate the last two, besides optionSplit, was maxItems.

I thought it'd be easier to have two menus and deal with each one.

Thanks anyway for your help, it's going to look a bit criptic, but I'll 
have to go with the optionSplit option, or recode the working example I 
quoted before.

Eduardo.
