The difference you're describing is like the difference
between `tmm-menubar' (which makes you navigate down a
menubar tree step by step) and La Carte, which lets you
do that or not. Completion candidates are full paths
to menu items.
With a reasonable completion system (even just substring
matching helps) you can type a pattern that shows submenus
and menu items at any level. You can get directly to a
given item with a single pattern, if you want.
(But it's typically better to combine simple patterns
than to try to provide an exact complex pattern to match
what you want.)
