Not consciously intended, just the "natural" thing.

Are you talking about display-line-numbers set to t, and then about
the empty field displayed for continuation lines, which show no
numbers?  Otherwise I don't understand what you mean by "empty
space(s) below it".

If you indeed mean continuation lines, I'd like to hear from others
what they think about this use case.  Displaying the empty fields in a
face different from the number itself is some work, but I will do it
if that's the "popular demand".

You are welcome, and thanks for the feedback.
