No, there isn't (as of yet), but I managed to convert a vhdx to vhd with Virtualbox:
Download and install Virtualbox: https://www.virtualbox.org
Open a command line in your Virtualbox directory (shift, right-click on the directory), syntax is
vboxmanage clonehd --format vhd path-to-vhdx path-to-vhd
Example
vboxmanage clonehd --format vhd c:\image.vhdx c:\image.vhd
In the future just deactivate "Use vhdx" in Disk2VHD to avoid having to convert the image.
Worked almost like a charm for me, there was just one glitch: vhd2disk reported an error while dumping, saying the disk was mounted and I should try setting it offline (and yes, I deleted all partitions on the destination drive prior to dumping). I put the drive into the destination machine anyways, and it turned out that the dump had been successful.
