I think that what you need here is a nested set of for-each-groups, one
for each level of the output tree. In this case it is quite deeply
nested:

<xsl:template match="Document"
<xsl:for-each-group select="Paragraph" 
                    group-starting-with="*[@StyleName='PART']">
 <Part Category="PART">
   <xsl:copy-of select="child::node()"/>
   <xsl:for-each-group select="current-group() except ."
                       group-starting-with="*[@StyleName='DIVISION']">
     <Part Category="DIVISION">
       <xsl:copy-of select="child::node()"/>
       <xsl:for-each-group select="current-group() except ."
 
group-starting-with="*[@StyleName='SUBDIVISION']">

and so on.

It might be possible to make the code neater by making it table-driven:

<xsl:template match="Document"
<xsl:for-each-group select="Paragraph" 
                    group-starting-with="*[@StyleName='PART']">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Paragraph">
  <Part Category="{@StyleName}">
    <xsl:copy-of select="child::node()"/>
    <xsl:for-each-group select="current-group() except ."
       group-starting-with="*[@StyleName=f:child(@StyleName)]">
      <xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
    </
  </
</

<xsl:function name="f:child" as="xs:string">
  <xsl:param name="level" as="xs:string">
  <xsl:choose>
  <xsl:when test="$level='PART'">DIVISION</xsl:when>
  <xsl:when test="$level='DIVISION'">SUBDIVISION</xsl:when>
  etc
