You can choose an arbitrary number for each output enable group. The pupose of the output enable group is to help in checking Quartus I/O rules. E.g. bidirectional pins of a DDR2 interface would be only allowed to be placed adjacently, if they belong to the same output enable group. Then it's guaranteed, that one pin won't work as input while the other is enabled as output.
