Simply looking at the page, without looking at the underlying HTML or styles,
the wrapping of a navigation list with abundant horizontal whitespace that
was obviously expected to fit on one line, particularly when there is ample
whitespace on the right end of the first line to fit the single item sitting
alone on the second line (which is what happens with that page loaded in a
fullscreen Firefox window on a 1600px wide 132 DPI screen and with a Firefox
default size of 22px aka 12pt actual physical, not CSS3 12pt). It's a common
result of containers sized in px, taking no account of content text sized in
such relative units as keywords, rem and em.
If such a nav absolutely has to wrap, then (to me) it would look better (more
professional) with the left margin matched to the right, and/or with the left
margin of line two *not* matched to the left margin of the first line (such
as doubled).
