That really doesn't make your wishes clear.  Assuming you want the
first element treated specially, in the usual way (indent four
positions), and the rest indented three positions, as shown, you can
just do:

  (put 'make-instance 'common-lisp-indent-function '(4 &rest 3))

If by "other constructs" you mean, "all other constructs", you can't
do that: cl-indent is for indenting in the Lisp style.  You could, of
course, hack the code of common-lisp-indent-function to make your own
indenter, that you could then use as your lisp-indent-function.  I
wouldn't recommend it, though; idiosyncratic indentation doesn't help
understanding, however beautiful it might be to your eyes.
