You could do this the old way, by exporting and then importing the Area 1-4 group four times and separating each iteration with a GroupSelectAnotherArea_or_continue. So you get something like:
GroupSelectArea
Area 1 1
Area 1 2
Area 1 3
Area 1 4
GroupSelectAnotherArea_or_continue 1
Area 2 1 (if GroupSelectAnotherArea_or_continue 1 == Area 2 1)
Area 2 2 (if GroupSelectAnotherArea_or_continue 1 == Area 2 2)
Area 2 3 (if GroupSelectAnotherArea_or_continue 1 == Area 2 3)
Area 2 4 (if GroupSelectAnotherArea_or_continue 1 == Area 2 4)
GroupSelectAnotherArea_or_continue 2 (if GroupSelectAnotherArea_or_continue 1 != continue)

I think LS2 has a loop question attribute, but I have never used this. Maybe someone else can advise. Here is the documentation:
