Schwert suggested l = c((T/100^(1/4)) with either c=4 for small sample (T<100) or c=12 otherwise. As far as I know, this rule is widely accepted for the KPSS test too.

I don't believe gretl doen not have a --test-downoption in kernel estimation, which is what I believe KPSS involves.

So-called 'optimal' bandwidth is usually a function of sample size. Some use rules like 0.75T^(1/3) or 4(T/100)^(2/9). I believe that Schwert suggested 12((T+1)/100)^(1/4) in picking lags for ADF tests. With respect to KPSS, I don't know. Longer means less bias and less precision. Shorter more bias, but greater precision.
