That is exactly what I am doing, too, namely `/ n'.

If I hit "c-x / N" I get:

<help buffer>
/ n runs the command gnus-summary-limit-to-articles
   which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `gnus-sum'.
(gnus-summary-limit-to-articles N)

Limit the summary buffer to the next N articles.
If not given a prefix, use the process marked articles instead.
</help buffer>
