This is very easy with XSLT 2.0, using e.g.

<xsl:for-each-group group-starting-with="Sub1">

If you need an XSLT 1.0 solution, it's much harder, but has been solved
many times. Try a search (e.g. in the mulberrytech xsl-list archive) for
"positional grouping", if that fails try asking on xsl-list, where the
question has been asked many times before but the people who answer are
remarkably patient.
