My TYPOscript isn't too great so I won't share examples, but you could 
achieve the effect by placing a wrap on the container as well as the 
elements as follows :

Place | to the left of the container.
Place a | to the right of each child menu element, thus :

| element | element | element |

Hopefully someone with some TYPOScript know-how can improve on what I am 
saying :)
