This is not easily done from the backend, since Gnus stores article
numbers in ~/.newsrc.eld.

Doing the following is fairly simple and could be written into a
function; why bother with the hard stuff?

M-x set-variable RET gnus-large-newsgroup RET nil RET
C-u RET
M P a
B m <insert-group-name-here> RET
q
M-x set-variable RET gnus-large-newsgroup RET <old-value> RET
