Google guidelines recommend a max of 100 links on a page, and although
it's not a fixed limit, I believe that GoogleBot stops readng links
after around 200.  This would mean that any lines within the actual
page would be ignored, and links towards the top of the menu would
automatically be favored.

I have a sitemap file for the robots, but I'm still concerned that it
may be better for the robot to ignore the links within the menu (or at
least the links more than 1 level deep).  I'm not sure whether I'm
right to be concerned, nor about how to go about marking the inner
links so that GoogleBot ignores them.

When I say Googlebot is getting confused, I mean that it has no
context to recognize the greater importance of higher-level menu links
vs lower-level links.

All pages can be accessed without the expanding menu (with multiple
clicks).
