If compress.1 is already 'roffed, then all you have to do is send it
through a filter such as sed '/^/   /',  pr -t -o5 or other program
to add whitespace to the front.  If not, then any of the recs by
others will work.

Another thing to consider is making a local macro package such as
/usr/lib/tmac/tmac.local containing (for your needs) the line:

.po 1.5i

and using  nroff -Tfx-12 -man -mlocal file ...
assuming that man or other preceeding macro does not dynamically
reset the page offset.
