Most of the time I think it is a good idea to use
B_USE_DEFAULT_SPACING even if that adds a lot of space because the
spacing will look, well, default.
That being said if you really feel that the default spacing is too
much you can always grab be_control_look->DefaultItemSpacing() and
then modify it. A good rule of thumb to use is that at the default
12pt font be_control_look->DefaultItemSpacing() is around 10. (It's
actually 10.2). So, if you want 4px spacing you could divide by 2.5 to
get 4.08 (rounds to 4) which will put you right where you were, with
the added benefit that the spacing will adjust based on the user's
font settings.
