I believe you mean to ask about "planning groups". The term "move group" is quite overloaded within MoveIt! and move_group usually refers to the ROS node.

You probably want to have two separate planning groups to be able to plan with just one of the two joint sets. To actuate the whole set together, just create another group with the two "basic" groups as subgroups.
