Not sure if I understand your question correctly (the use of the word 
'bank' in the context of the EXS which doesn't have banks confuses 
me), but: if you have 2 EXS programs in which the zones are assigned 
to one group, and you then copy/paste everything (zones plus 
belonging group) into a new editor window, you'll end up with 2 
layers of zones, where each layer is assigned to its own group (since 
you copied the group _with_ the zones when doing the copy/paste). 
It's then fairly easy to change the 'select by' definition of the 2 
groups.

I.e. the trick is to have the original instruments set up properly, 
grouped and all.  Copying and pasting duplicates the original 
structure, so that it's easy to select the original layers in the 
composite instrument.

If I misunderstood your question, please give it another try :-).
