That can definitely be a problem. That's why in the scenario that I set up, we'll be doing a single round of group 1, followed by a single round of group 2, and then group 3, and then back to group 1; regardless of whether a given group is in combat or not. It gives everyone at the table a reason to not start side conversations when your group's turn is going to come up shortly and is not much different than an entire round of normal initiative.

I don't usually split them up, but I also don't worry about it if they split themselves up.
