Um... that simply does not happen.  Do you mean that you have 200+
previously spooled but marked as unread or ticked mesages in the group
and you receive 20 more more recently, and want to read just those 20?

TL> Is there a way to fix this without setting gnus-large-group to

Gnus does not care when messages arrive; if you have 200+ unread
messages in a group, it sees 200+ unread messages in that group.  If you
do not want older messages to be counted you must mark them as read or
expirable.

Or, if you have a guestimate as to how many of the unread messages you
wish to read, enter the group with an argument.  Positive arguments (20)
will retreive that many of the most recently received unread messages;
negative arguments (-20) will retreive that many of the oldest unread
messages.

TL> Can you somehow renumber the articles in a group?

Mark all messages in the group, move them to a temporary group, move
them back.

TL> I'm using Gnus 5.2.1.

You are about a week behind on the bugfixes :).
