I'm not entirely sure I understand what you're asking, but it sounds
like you want a pretty normal setup, with two servers. You've already
got one server, just add another nnimap server. By default nnimap
doesn't store anything locally, it just contacts the remote server, and
splitting won't occur at all if you don't set nnimap-split-methods as a
server parameter (you may also need to omit the nnimap-inbox parameter,
but I'm not sure about that). See the "Using IMAP" section of the Gnus
manual for the absolute most bare-bones setup.

If the server is splitting mail into mailboxes, you'll still have
multiple groups on this server. But you can choose to subscribe to them
or not.

Hope that's what you were looking for,
