Most of the time there's ways to slim down the features you'll never use that will reduce the menus.

Open the Winrar program and go to Options > Settings > Integration(tab) and at the bottom you will see a "Context Menu Items" button, click it. Here you can add or remove context menu items, I like to add "test archive" so I can test to see if a group of split rar files are all good, and that the pass is correct, without having to extract the file.
