This thread has mentioned Kernighan's troff tutorial
Here's where to get it:

Of course it lacks the modest, but very helpful,
groff extensions, but it'sa great base document.
I would think Brian would welcome an upgrade.

I was using -ms due to the .TH, and .vs does not
work directly (what were you using?). It all
worked when I used
.nr VS 5m
.LP
This is my command line:
groff -ww -t -ms infile

I was using -ms too. However, since there was a block of text
preceding the table matter, there had already been a ".LP"
preceding the tbl code. Hence the ".vs 5m" took effect within
the paragraph initiated by .LP; however, I agree that using
".nr VS 5m" is the way to make vertical spacing extend
