I'm not sure why you would ever need to read the next N messages.  You
could define a keyboard macro I guess, but I don't see any utility in
providing that to all Gnus users.  Can you explain what you're trying to
do?

If the goal is to mark N messages as read, there's a command for that
and it takes the prefix argument.
