Thanks!  Now separating the groups completely using full-width group separators
for the vertical format allows enabling outline-minor-mode and using
TAB/S-TAB keys to hide groups for better overview in a large buffer.

I tried (setq outline-regexp " ") to match the space character
at the beginning of group titles to find outline headers,
and the result is quite nice:
