I can use different tables with names in a fashion like:
table_B_30_70_0.4_GroupA_GroupB.xvg

(where GroupA and GroupB can be whatever you want)

Then the mdrun line is
mdrun ...  -table table_B_30_70_0.4.xvg

and then mdrun takes care of looking after the GroupA_GroupB , 
GroupB_GroupC etc. tables, depending on your .mdp file.

Hope it helps,
M.
