This is a followup to the question at Is it possible to change the edges for some tree level using forest package? for lack of a followup question option.
The modified MWE below does almost 100% of what I was looking for, but there is still minor tweaking to do in the anchoring of the last level's parent and corresponding edge path.
Why does the edge path work fine in the first forest which grows east, but not in the last level of the second forest which grows east as well? Should the edge path of the last level in the second forest work exactly the same?
Also, I tried to push the child nodes down (after creating the screen shot!), but the s option seemed to only work for the bottom child node N1C2 but not for the top node N1C1.

(!u.parent anchor) -- +(15pt,0) |- % used with east-west growth
(.child anchor)\forestoption{edge label};

UPDATE:
After more tweaking the code below gets within hair width of the ideal solution. Just a note: the top 2 levels cannot be hardcoded, there can be any number of them, and the issues in this question apply to the last level in red only.
The only 2 remaining issues are how to push the red nodes down to start below their parents?

(.child anchor)\forestoption{edge label};

where n children=0{
child anchor=west,node options={minimum width=22em}, % to make nodes same width
