The size is controlled by this line in the ur.template stylesheet  
(htdocs/css/ur.css):

div.Links ul { list-style: none; margin-left: 0; padding-left: 0; }
div.Links ul ul { list-style: none; margin-left: 0.5em; padding-left:  
0; }

The indentation of sublists is 0.5em, which is (apparently) half the  
width of the letter M in the font being used. It looks like about 2  
or 3 spaces to me, have you updated the stylesheet? If not, you might  
be seeing the default indentation for nested lists.

Here it is in Safari:
