My Redhat 7.0 has 3140 commands available at the command line.

If each pulldown has 5, 6, or 7 elements then the menues must go
to file levels.  If you want some things to end before the fifth level
then those will be in addition to the cascading entries.

Those are just the commands.  Are you intending to cover options as well ?

Are you planning to reduce the number of commands ?  Which ones ?
Who decides ?
