No.

I didn't think it could, the winbind 'rid' calculates the ID from the 
user or group RID and user & group names are unique. This means that you 
cannot have a user with the same name as a group, so you can only have 
one RID.

The only thing that I know that can 'create' usergroups is sssd, so are 
you using this as well ?

I think more info is required here, what OS ? What version of Samba ? 
Please post your smb.conf
