Sure, will do.

Of course, I was coming to that, trying to figure out if what was left
was just one or even more separate patches, see below

So, that "moreover" means its not just one patch, but at least two, i.e.
when one selects show-total-period we better have more space for that
column, right?

I'll break the patch below accordingly.

And even then, there is one question left, see below

this part will be in a separate patch, i.e. something like:

[PATCH] Widen "Period" column when using --show-total-period

But what about this one? What is that '4' for? Not obvious at first
sight, can you elaborate on the need for this specific one?

What about this one?

this one will be in a separate patch, with the title you chose:

[PATCH] perf annotate: Show the proper header when using --show-total-period
