Hi Steve,
LPub cannot (and should not) support any nested META commands, except for the
nesting implied by use of sub-models.
I think the mistake you are making is to synthesize actual lego products,
rather than by hose/cable type.
The purpose of synthesizing by a product made by LEGO, is so that known LEGO
part can have an official LDraw part that represents it in its completely
assembled state, and that LSynth can substitute your synthesized results for the
official part in the PLI.
I recommend you do not synthesize by product (cables/hoses of known length),
and instead synthesize the way you have always done, by hose/cable type. This
will not produce the LPUB PLI SUB meta commands, and do just what you want (just
like it always has).
