There is an existing problem that Show 1/2 kids does not show them all if there is more than one unknown spouse - I actually do have an ancestor that had kids from 2 different unknown men. (Well, I'm assuming they were different - she had ill. kids before she married, and ill. kids after her husband died.)
However, if you are pretty certain that the kids were likely from the same unknown person, you want to change it to only one "marriage" (or relationship) with an unknown. So, unlike all but one of the kids from the parents, go to the "marriage" of the person and the unknown, and add the kids back in (add existing child). Then, look at the list of the person's spouses, and get rid of the extra marriages that are not needed.
