You can increase the vertical offset of the drop down menu by editting the below line in the .js file:
Code:
dropmenuobj.style.top=dropmenuobj.y-clearbrowseredge(obj, "bottomedge")+obj.offsetHeight+10+"px"
The "10" in this case would move the menu 10 pixels down. But as you've mentioned, moving it too much would cause the drop down menu to disappear when the mouse moves over this gap. You can try creating a blank menu item and edit the .css file so the default border around the entire menu is removed, and adjusted to only surround the second menu item and downwards (not the first).
