OK, so the subtree has multiple values under it.

Given that, ...

...line 1 should *NOT* correspond solely to the integral value, so you wouldn't use any of the proto_tree_add_uint 
functions.  It should also perhaps give information about the *other* values in that subtree.

Do lines 2 and 3 *both* correspond to the integral value?  That seems redundant.  Or is it for another value that also 
goes into that subtree?

        ti = proto_tree_add_text(tree, tvb, offset of the beginning of the first value covered by the subtree,
            length of *all* the values covered by the subtree, "Subtree name: %s (%u) ...",
            val_to_str(value, String, "Unknown"), value, other values to put into the item);
        subtree = proto_item_add_subtree(ti, ett_subtree);
