Does anyone know how to mark a large number of articles in a
newsgroup, 100+, as read while leaving a few, 5 or so, untouched?

Thanks Lars,
This will make things easier as I was just going down a group pressing d or k as I went.
Is there a way, using process marks, to mark the articles I want to keep and then operate on the unmarked articles (delete them); or invert the process marks so that those that were marked become unmarked and vice versa? (I suppose one way to achieve this might be to mark all the articles in a group and then unmark those I wanted to keep).

There should be a command to invert the process marks. I've now added
it to the todo list.
