note from FreeER, it is possible that I am wrong so I figured I'd put my name and that this senctence could mislead you first lol, I believe that all except for the first unresearched technology in the series are hidden, for factorio to know which technologies are in that series the technology names must be the same except for the number at the end
 
note from Matjojo, It is currently not possible to have more than one descriptions for a line of upgrades.
