If I understand you correct this example would create 3 playlists:
playlist1: Contains all songs in SlimServer database from artist1 and
also all songs from artist5
playlist2: Contains all songs in SlimServer database from artist1 and
also all songs from artist2
playlist3: Contains all songs in SlimServer database from artist2 and
also all songs from artist3

If this is what you try to accomplish the functionality might already
be available in the SQLPlayList plugin. The user interface doesn't look
exactly like your sample but you can do the same, the procedure would
be:
- For each of the three playlists, create a new playlist in SQLPlayList
plugin of type "Advanced" and select the desired artists in the "Only
include tracks for selected artists" list box for each playlist.

But adding a new artist to all available playlists would mean a lot
more mouse clicks with the SQLPlayList plugin user interface than in
your sample user interface. Adding a new artist to a single playlist
would be approximately the same amount of mouse clicks. So your user
interface will probably be a lot better in some senarios.
