Use normal variables instead of gnus-article-banner-alist entries, and
use `, in gnus-parameters.
(setq my-banner-1 "regexp-1"
      my-banner-2 "regexp-2"
      gnus-parameters
      `(("group1"
         (banner . ,my-banner-1))
        ("group2"
         (banner . ,(concat my-banner-1 "\\|" my-banner-2)))))
