I think you just want to do a limit (in a group summary, type "/ C-h"
to see the available limits).  It's very easy to undo a limit too.

If you mean that you want preset limits, you can just use the functions
invoked by the / commands with the appropriate parameters and bind
them to a key.

This is bound to be significantly faster than entering several virtual
groups, and I can't see any difference.
