One way is to use

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
   version="1.0">

<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />

<xsl:template match="layout">
   <xsl:copy>
     <xsl:apply-templates select="@*" />
     <xsl:apply-templates select="row[1]" />
   </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="row[@type = '9999']">
   <group name="{@name}">
     <xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::row[1][@type != 
'9999']" mode="copy" />
   </group>
   <xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::row[@type = 
'9999'][1]" />
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="row">
   <group name="nogroup">
     <xsl:copy>
       <xsl:apply-templates select="@* " />
     </xsl:copy>
   </group>
   <xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::row[1]" />
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="row" mode="copy">
   <xsl:copy>
     <xsl:apply-templates select="@*" />
   </xsl:copy>
   <xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::row[1][@type != 
'9999']" mode="copy" />
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="@*">
   <xsl:copy />
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
