Try a different UI approach. One thing to consider is using an NSBrowser if you have lots of upper-level options and a good number of sub items and want a cascading list where the leaf item is just a choice rather than a command.
If you want commands but have a small number of upper-level options and a relatively small number of sub items, consider using header-oriented menu items and possibly set their sub items to use an indentation level. Look at the Speech System Preference's System Voice popup button after choosing "Show More Voices". It doesn't use indentations, but the graying and separators shows a clear delineation. If you want the headers to be commands in their own right, you would most likely want to use indentations, but it's debatable for their need if they're not selectable, such as with the System Voices. Of course, you may have to do things a lot harder; Apple even uses hierarchical menu items in a popup button for the Region on the Formats panel of the Language & Text System Preference when you turn on "Show all regions", but that's definitely a huge list.
