As per the instructions, you cannot add a sub-link to an item that you have made into a menu. However, you have to have something set as a menu tab for it to have a drop-down item assigned to it.

So, I gave up and went back to edit the navtab that I had set as a menu, changed it to not be a menu, and saved it. Then, went to "Tab sub links" and added the horizontal row of sublinks I wanted. While I was trying to figure out how best to make up for the lack of a drop-down menu on my navbar, I refreshed the home page.

To my happy surprise, the menu I had already setup under one of the navtabs was still there!

So basically, to do this:
1. Make the menu tab you want to have both
2. Set it as a menu
3. Add the drop-down items
4. Change the menu tab back to "No" for being a menu
5. Go to "Tab Sub links" and add the links you want on the horizontal sub-nav that you want for that item.

One other thing I've done that may be affecting this:
What I really want is a static sub-nav (horizontal) menu that is the same on every page. (You know... like most Websites have if they have a secondary menu.) So, in the vbcms_navbar_link template, which is where the "Home" button usually comes from, I have added these links there. I have the Home button disabled through this mod though, and added it as part of this mod instead. So I don't know if this template is affecting it. But, if you need to do this same thing:

I've added them after the first </vb:if> and also before the second (and last) </vb:if>.
The list of links must begin with:
<ul class="floatcontainer">

I'll post screenshots once our site is live. That should be soon, now that I've figured this out.

So, if I could just figure out how to get vBulletin to let me have a drop-down that shows on hover or mouseover, instead of only onclick, I'll finally have a normal standard menu for my site!

Yes screenshots will be great.
