You'll need an actual function call:

(gnus-add-configuration
 '(article (horizontal 1.0
		       (vertical 0.5
				 (group 1.0)
				 (gnus-carpal 4))
		       (vertical 1.0
				 (summary 0.25 point)
				 (summary-carpal 4)
				 (article 1.0)))))


gnus-add-configuration is the function call and the rest is the
argument to that function.  The above should do the trick for you
(assuming the layout actually works - I didn't try it)
