I have an environment where the local domain is at the 3rd level, for example: prv.foo.com. Individual hosts are at the 4th level, for example: bar.prv.foo.com. Firefox believes the host is at the 3rd level and remembers passwords at this level, presumably because it's going by the TLD.

How can I tell Firefox an individual domain has hosts at a different level?

You can try to create the login in the Password Manager (about:logins) yourself for the 3rd level domain to see whether Firefox will use it for the 4th level.

I tried that and yes, it does show me the 3rd level password on the 4th level. This is the behavior I am trying to avoid. I have many servers at the 4th level and I don't want to see other domains.

Then create a password for each 4th level domain.
