Groups with Multi Cell fixtures

So, let's say I have a cyc with two banks of CF72 fixtures, one across the top, one across the bottom. Let's further say that I want to build a group for using fans and effects across this in a couple of different configurations; paired top and bottom, and paired mirror out.  Is there a native way to build these using the multicell fixtures, or would I have to take the time to type in : (Chan 201 Cell 1 + Chan 206 Cell 1) + (Chan 201 Cell 2 + Chan 206 Cell 2) + ...?

    Let's say Group 201 = [201] [Through] [210] [.] [1] [Enter] ... That's Cell 1 on Channels 201 through 210.
    or . . . Group 201 = [201] [Thru] [210] [.] [1] {Offset} [2] [Enter] ... That's Cell 1 on Channels 201, 203, 205, 207, 209.

    Does that help? or were you looking for more?

    Not quite. I'm looking to have a Group setup where the selection would either run so that each matching cell, top and bottom, would get the same command, all across the cyc, one group running left to right, one right to left, and one centre out.
    In the past, I did take a maintenance day to key in each of these, but I'd rather avoid the tedium again if I swap out to Multi Cell patching of the fixtures.
    My fixtures are currently divided up into each cell as a channel, so my left to right grouping is (201+261)+(202+262)+(203+263)+...+(259+319)+(260+320).
    My center out grouping is (230+231+290+291)+(229+232+289+292)+...+(201+260+261+320).
    I'm looking to see if there's an easier way to create these groups with the MultiCell units.
