Gentlemen, when one uses
T H runs the command gnus-summary-hide-all-threads
and one's gnus-summary-line-format is:
"%U%R%z%I%(%t %3{%~(cut-left 2)~(max-right 6)~(pad 6)o%}%3L|%us|%-14,14f%)%3{%un%}:%s\n"
one will see:

%t Number of articles under the current thread (number),
perhaps multiplied by a factor, say 2.
Ah, if only one could change one or both of
%>   Spaces of length thread-level (string)
%I   Indentation based on thread level (a string of spaces)
into dots, just from one's .gnus.el. Of course I'll mostly in
T S runs the command gnus-summary-show-all-threads
mode, so whatever fix shouldn't affect that.
