Why can't Wikiheader be more like Wikiaheader?

The Wikiaheader is the one at the top of the page. The drop down menus form in a page wide block and allow an easy choice among over two dozen choices. The wikiheaders are the next menu bar down. Their drop down menus are only one column long usually allowing half a dozen choices.

That is fine for those who want it that way. Previous to the new look there was a behavior that allowed several levels of submenu's as well. When that was taken away many cleaver people started to discover work arounds. It was like moving all you goods to a much smaller apartment.

Why not allow the second header the same room as the first. Lots of people will appreciate the extra space for their stuff. It would mean coming up with an alternate class for wikiheaders that would allow more room, yet have formating appropriate for the second menu-bar. Then maybe a preference for sites to use it. Or go for easy maintenance and compel everyone to enjoy it.
