I am trying to add different padding to subsequent elements in a div. My DOM looks pretty simple.

Using less(but you have to set the num of elements):
.parent (@indexstart,@index) when (@indexstart < @index ){
div:nth-child(@{indexstart}){
padding-left: (@indexstart - 1) * 15px;
}
.parent (@indexstart + 1,@index);
}
.parent (1,4);
See example
I suppose you want to achieve a stair visually. In this case you can do it like below:
.parent {
line-height: 1.2em;
}
.parent>div:not(:first-child)::before {
content: "";
float: left;
width: 15px; /*your padding*/
height: calc(1.2em + 2px);
}
<div class="parent">
<div>0</div>
<div>15</div>
<div>30</div>
<div>45</div>
<div>60</div>
<div>75</div>
</div>
