Yes. Use ".ls N".
From the AT&T documentation that comes with HP's internal ditroff
(see page 60 of the Nroff/Troff User Manual, Section 11. Vertical
Spacing Requests):
.ls N
Line spacing set to +/- N. Output N-1 blank lines (Vs) after each
output text line. If the text or previous appended blank line
reached a trap position, appended blank lines are omitted.
Relevant parameters are part of the current environment.
A similar explanation of ".ls N" (along with many things mother
(Bell) never mentioned about troff), also appears in "Unix Text
Processing" by Dale Dougherty and Tim O'Reilly, Hayden Books, 1987,
highly recommended.

Yes. Don't use the -rC4 flag.
