I think I may have found a way to use your custom navigation rendering to (albeit inelegantly) patch up the problem of level 3 and lower directory links if the permalink struture is %parent%/%slug% (the problem being from GetSimple itself, not this plugin of course).

For example, for this structured site:

Home
Menu 1
- Subdir 1-1
- - Subdir 1-1-1
- - Subdir 1-1-2
- - Subdir 1-1-3
- Menu 1-2
- Menu 1-3
Menu 2
Menu 3

The link for "Subdir 1-1-1" is "/subdir-1-1/subdir-1-1-1" instead of "menu-1/subdir-1-1/subdir-1-1-1". To fix this, with your custom rendering example (thanks again for providing this feature!), change

Code:

<?php echo htmlspecialchars($item->link); ?>

to

Code:

<?php
  if($item->parent=='subdir-1-1') $subDir = 'menu-1/';
  else $subDir = '';

  // this displays the link in its entirety
  if($item->parent!=='') {
    get_site_url(); echo $subDir; echo htmlspecialchars($item->parent); echo '/'; echo htmlspecialchars($item->slug); echo '/'; }
  else { get_site_url(); echo htmlspecialchars($item->slug); }
?>

The code basically says "if the current item's parent is level X, include level X-1 in the url". The general solution for further levels is this:

Code:

<?php
  // level 3 links - change lv2-# and lv1-# to the slugs of your respective levels
  if($item->parent=='lv2-1') $subDir = 'lv1-1/';
  elseif($item->parent=='lv2-1') $subDir = 'lv1-2/';
  // level 4 links
    elseif ($item->parent=='lv3-1') $subDir = 'lv1-1/lv2-1/';
    elseif ($item->parent=='lv3-2') $subDir = 'lv1-2/lv2-2/';
  // end of levels - add your extra levels as according with the given examples
  else $subDir = '';

  // don't alter this - it echos the link in its entirety
  if($item->parent!=='') {
    get_site_url(); echo $subDir; echo htmlspecialchars($item->parent); echo '/'; echo htmlspecialchars($item->slug); echo '/'; }
  else { get_site_url(); echo htmlspecialchars($item->slug); }
?>

I wanted to post it here first to see if you thought it was a valid solution, mvlcek. If it is then I'll make a tutorial out of it to better explain its use and hopefully tidy up the code a bit more.
