Can't you just do something like this on the top-level headline for the
tree

C-c C-k C-c C-f M-7 C-c C-p

(where N=7 in this example)

That puts the cursor on the 7th-last heading (hope that makes sense)
It's not particularly short though...
  C-c C-k - show all siblings
  C-c C-f - go forward to next headline
  M-7 C-c C-p - go back to previous heading 7 times

or maybe

C-c C-f C-b C-c C-r

You should be able to build a local interactive function that takes a
prefix argument for N to get you where you want to be.

You can also use M-3 S-TAB to open show level 3 tasks and then navigate
the folded tree.
