Check if stylesheet starting with "navigation" and see if that is already made for the 5th level, or that it ends with a 4th level logic.

If so, just insert the 5th level logic...

here is the site https://tdm.pharm.buffalo.edu/prc/cmsMadeSimple/index.php?page=hplc

i don't have access to the "Navigation: Simple - Vertical" stylesheet right now.  Is this stored in a database and only through the Admin Panel? Or is  this in a particular directory?

You can access it in the backend, by either selecting the template and then the CSS-icon, or through the menu, Layout -> Stylesheets. It is stored in de database, and there could be a permission that you dont have, "modify stylesheets"

Yes that looks like it only has 3 levels so you need to copy the code and add ul for however many levels you need...
