I use the following. I started with some, but for deep threads it
impacted performance of group entering, so now I allow upto 40 old
articles to be fetched to complete the threads.

,----[ C-h v gnus-fetch-old-headers RET ]
| `gnus-fetch-old-headers' is a variable declared in Lisp.
|   -- loaded from "gnus-sum"
| 
| Value: 40
| 
| Documentation:
| *Non-nil means that Gnus will try to build threads by grabbing old headers.
| If an unread article in the group refers to an older, already
| read (or just marked as read) article, the old article will not
| normally be displayed in the Summary buffer.  If this variable is
| t, Gnus will attempt to grab the headers to the old articles, and
| thereby build complete threads.  If it has the value `some', all
| old headers will be fetched but only enough headers to connect
| otherwise loose threads will be displayed.  This variable can
| also be a number.  In that case, no more than that number of old
| headers will be fetched.  If it has the value `invisible', all
| old headers will be fetched, but none will be displayed.
| 
| The server has to support NOV for any of this to work.
| 
| This feature can seriously impact performance it ignores all
| locally cached header entries.
