I think if you have subgroups with wildly disparate paces, it might make more sense to have a couple of different routes and have the groups meet up.
That said, if the typical speed of the various riders is all within a range of about 5mph, it's not really that hard to stick together. People will get more spread out, but will catch up pretty quickly at interesections, rest breaks, etc. I've seen 15+ people do this happily.
