Generally every page should have its own corresponding navigation folder, ie. one folder per page. The original design for multiple pages under a single folder was for multi-page features, similar to what you might see on a news site for longer articles. Even though you do not want these elements in your navigation structures, you'd be better off sticking to one folder/one page and just revealing links in your presentation layer as you want them, rather than sacrificing the utility of having the page attached to a folder.
If you haven't discovered it already, try your hand at the Quick Site Builder (Content > Content Utilities) to play with building information hierarchies in your tree. Then try right mouse clicking on the tree and seeing what can be done with a little cut/copy and paste.
