 * Just have the name of the category in the category column. It doesn’t make any
   difference whether it is a sub-category. It still goes into that category.
 * You can change the category hierarchy after you do the import. Assigning a parent
   to a category makes it a subcategory.

 * but what if the sub category doesn’t exist and I want to mass create sub categories?

 * the plugin creates categories when they don’t already exist. This is all explained
   in the plugin’s instructions. (I’m just a user of that plugin, not the author)

 * Ruriko: The plugin does not mass-create subcategories, mainly because there’s
   no easy way to specify subcategories. You can search the forums for older posts
   on this topic.
