multiple grouping levels on x-axis

Support for nested coordinate systems is on our roadmap but is not currently supported in the library. It might be possible to create a custom Bokeh extension to create a new kind of axis, but it would take some work.

Wait, couldn’t you create two X axes, stack them on top of each other, and simply make the top one a repeating/cyclical mapping of the nested values?

Mappings (e.g. for glyphs) currently only refer to one range. If the range "repeats" then the mapping is ill-specified. Having nested coordinate systems is specifically to be able to take more than one range's coordinates into account when mapping so that positions can be completely determined.
