Let's see if the output of

(set-variable 'gnus-article-date-headers '(combined-local-lapsed original))

    Date: Sat, 14 Nov 2020 10:06:47 +0800 (3 days, 2 hours, 57 minutes ago)
    Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2020 20:06:47 -0600

could be put onto one line:

    Date: Sat, 14 Nov 2020 10:06:47 +0800 (3 days, 2 hours, 57 minutes ago) (Fri, 13 Nov 2020 20:06:47 -0600)

It could, if the much better syntax

(local " (" elapsed ")" " (" original ")")

were allowed!

OK, to avoid breaking changes, just name it
gnus-article-date-headers-granular etc.

Sorry; I don't think this would be generally useful.  If you want such a
date display, you can easily write a function display the date header
any way you want.

Closing.
