I'm not sure about that.
  A two space indent seems pretty obvious to me.
  But perhaps that's because I'm using a monospaced font.
I suppose if you use a proportional font, spaces will be much narrower, 
and it may be harder to notice the indent.

How about trying four spaces first?
    Eight spaces is rather a lot, especially once you get to the third
        indent level and a third of the page is whitespace.
