You should be able to rationalise your module groupings down to a
reasonable number.
The fact that you've gone beyond the system limits suggests strongly
that you've introduced far too much complication and separation to make
your system usable to real users.
After all if you have several users who need to be in more than 16
groups then it is highly likely that many of those groups could be
collapsed into one.
Note also that the amount of "security" that you're achiving is still
relatively low -- you'd be far better off building separate
repositiories on separate machines if you really really really need that
much security.

Unless you're willing to re-engineer your system kernels to support more
than the default number of groups this is impossible.
