Sometimes clients just have to be fed a dose of reality. ;o)

I'd say:

 - pick a more robust fly-out menu system (such as UDM4
   or the PVII one Al mentioned) which may accommodate
   the extra items better.

 - maybe put the fly-out menu in a div with a given height
   and set overflow: scroll?

 - skip the fly-out menu and use a form drop-down list

 - try the 'dose of reality' idea. ;o)

Good luck!
