According to https://orgmode.org/manual/Breaking-Down-Tasks.html

a simple [/] is enough, and indeed it is:

* Everything [/]

Which indeed it is 

After adding this and running org-todo I obtain 


#+begin_src 

* Everything [3/4]
  :PROPERTIES:
  :COLUMNS:   %TODO %ITEM  %Nr %Comp1 %Comp2  
  :COMP1:    [3/4]
  :COMP2:    [3/4]
  :TODO:      [ ] 
  :END:

** DONE Books

   :Comp1:     [X]
   :Comp2:     [X]

   :END:
