With this module you can split any menu block into two different blocks: a first block with the first level menu entries only and a second block with any second level and sub level menu entries.

The "demonstration site" for this module shows one "nifty" application of what I consider a much more powerful general function - displaying disjoint sub-menus as blocks without having to build duplicate menus.
The loveliest thing about this module for me is that one can build a menu heirarchy for a nice menu dropdown (where submenus display only on hover), and then with a few clicks create submenus that show up as blocks only on the level one pages above them.
I'm placing a feature request that a checkbox allow the submenus to show on every level 2 page within the level one heirarchy, for obvious reasons. Unless someone enlightens me, the workaround for now is:
1) Copy and paste the output of "Menu Block Split" for level one of one of the lists (e.g. "About" pages) into a new block.
2) Create Content Type for Level One (e.g. "About")
3) Configure Path Auto to prepend "about/" to all pages of that type.
4) Manually assign content type "about" to all pages within that heirarchy. These pages should now have automatic URLs /about/page-title.
5) Point that new block to appear for all pages of url about/*
ugh.....
