Not sure which PG version you are using, but if you are on 9.4, you may use
filters as below.
postgres=# SELECT * FROM stats_archive ;
cname
-------
I
I
U
J
K
(5 rows)
postgres=# WITH total AS
(
SELECT COUNT(*) cnt, cname, ROW_NUMBER() OVER() FROM
stats_archive GROUP BY 2
)
SELECT 'others' as cname, sum(cnt) filter (where row_number >2) FROM total
UNION
SELECT cname, cnt FROM total WHERE row_number<=2;
cname | sum
--------+-----
J | 1
I | 2
others | 2
(3 rows)
