Actually the group argument can go on the command-line. I've used it in 
various custom scripts on my systems.

i.e.
gpg -e -a --group TestGroup="0x57BF9042 0x515FAF83" -r TestGroup test_file.txt

or in a script

gpg -e -a --group ${GroupName}="${GroupList}" -r ${GroupName} test_file.txt


This way the recipient group can be appended as needed throughout the script. 
And can then be expanded into the execution sequence.
