It should be pretty easy to do if you look at the order groups section
of the docs. Here is a link to order three separate items, with
the second and third "subitems" that will be removed when the
"master item" is removed.

	[page href=ord/basket
		form="
			mv_action=refresh
			mv_order_item=os29000
			mv_order_quantity=1
			mv_order_group=1
			mv_order_item=os28004
			mv_order_quantity=2
			mv_order_group=1
			mv_order_item=os28007
			mv_order_quantity=1
			mv_order_group=1
		"]Order this set</page>

Obviously I don't know your products, so these are foundation/standard
demo products.

On the latest "mike/standard demo, this should result in only one
remove box in the cart.

I trust you will be able to figure out how to construct a form from this.
