Hi Patrick,

Unless I missunderstand the question..
The easiest way would be to create two separate menu definitions in your TS.

Something like this:
## Menu [Begin]
lib.subMenu = HMENU
lib.subMenu.entryLevel = 1

lib.subMenu.1 = TMENU
lib.subMenu.1.NO {
   allWrap =
}
## Menu [End]


## Menu [Begin]
lib.mainMenu = HMENU
lib.mainMenu.entryLevel = 0

lib.mainMenu.1 = TMENU
lib.mainMenu.1.NO {
   allWrap =
}
## Menu [End]

The example comes from the autogenerated menu by the TemplaVoila wizard. 
The key to success here is the entryLevel = 1/0..

Good luck
