Comment (by alexander.rohmann):

 Just spent several hours trying to sort this out before coming across
 this. I don't see how "site URL" should ever depend on "path"

 I think it's fair to expect network_site_url to return the actual site
 url, just like site_url would. Meaning the URL to the WordPress files
 themselves. Would be really great if this and #27287 could be addressed.
 Some workarounds are ok, but would be so much simpler if this was just
 done right in core.

 I propose adding a new constant that specifies the WordPress files
 location. Something like:

 `define('WP_INSTALL_PATH','/wp/');`

 The path can still be used as a safe fallback, but this way we can have a
 Multisite and separate the install files without needing to bother with
 extra code.

 Thoughts?
