Customize the group (with G-c in the Group buffer) and use this :

[ ] Initial Input for Large Newsgroup: [Value Menu] All
 [Hide]    
    This number will be prompted as the initial value of the number of
    articles to list when the group is a large newsgroup (see
    `gnus-large-newsgroup').  If it is nil, the default value is the
    total number of articles in the group.


Hope it helps,
