I am not sure why do you ask rather then just try it:
PipeRead `echo 'PipeRead "echo Menu MenuFvwmRoot"'`
Yes, nested PipeRead works.
However, you don't really need it. In your script just use loops to
generate several menus at once.
Or use dynamical submenu features to call your script again on submenus.
See the output of existing fvwm-menu-* scripts for different approaches.
