Ok, you can do this by moving the emails from the existing folder:

  nnfolder+archive:sent.2014-12

to a new folder:

  nnfolder+archive:sent.2014/12

On disk the articles will then be stored in the file
~/Mail/archive/sent.2014/12 instead of in ~/Mail/archive/sent.2014-12

Note, however, that Gnus will show these subfolders uncollapsed (as far
as I can tell, maybe someone who uses subfolders regularly can correct
me), so there isn't much point in doing so, as far as I can see.

But since new email isn't written to those groups, they aren't show
anyway, right?

I think topics is the closest you're going to get. Then you can put all
your sent.2014-groups under a [2014] topic and close it.
