A menu is a tree structure so recursion is the way to traverse it:

Private Function GetItemCount(ByVal menu As MenuStrip) As Integer
    Dim count As Integer = menu.Items.Count

    For Each item As ToolStripMenuItem In menu.Items
        count += Me.GetSubItemCount(item)
    Next item

    Return count
End Function

Private Function GetSubItemCount(ByVal item As ToolStripMenuItem) As Integer
    Dim count As Integer = item.DropDownItems.Count

    For Each subitem As ToolStripMenuItem In item.DropDownItems
        count += Me.GetSubItemCount(subitem)
    Next subitem

    Return count
End Function
