The five email replies you want are still individual emails.
Emails are ALWAYS "individual", and reply emails simply have a
References: and/or In-Reply-To: header in them.
Whether your mail client shows them as individual mails is
another story. I also suspect whatever mail client you're using
isn't rendering thread hierarchies correctly.
Most good mail clients use the same algorithm to display message
threads since the days of Netscape:
https://www.jwz.org/doc/threading.html
I've also modified that algorithm to be recursion-free for public-inbox:

Btw, please disable HTML mail in your mail client or it won't
show up on the list (and other people won't be able to help).
I may not be around much for a bit.
