Sorry, I mistakenly used the word `GUD' in new node names, because the
node `Layout' mentions GUD buffers.

Maybe the `-UI' suffix is unnecessary, so the node names
`GDB Window Layout' and `Other GDB Buffers' would be valid and
self-explanatory.

Such three-parts menu items are correct, but they might be too long
on Info browsers that don't hide the second part (the real node name).
If that is ok, then I agree with your menu.
