we recently discussed this on a separate thread but, Group 1 can be the single biggest group, but in reality as they end up boarding 4-9 all together, that is always the biggest group.
In my experience, CE is often only 5 rows on average (but I have seen it going back all the way to 12 row occasionally), so on average 20 people, and not every route are gold /OW emerald heavy, so I most often seen the groups one queue being the shortest.
On SH, group 2 would be Silver/OW Saphire, group 3 Bronze/ OW Ruby, and 4-9 the rest of ET/economy
