man fetchnews:

       -x number
              Go number articles back and try to re-fetch what's 
missing.  This  can  be seful to pull data from broken servers that have 
either overview and group data out of synch or create articles out of 
article number order.


It's already been done.  Simply install leafnode -- so simple even I can 
run it.
