Ike:
So how do you manage all those secret activities?
Well, like you said, you can have Groups, within Groups, within Groups. That sounds like it should work fine...
In one game I'm in we use PMs for this. It's fast, easy and completely in the Player's hands as to whom is within which group. I expect the GM is just riding herd to make sure people aren't excluded from certain actions or plots when their character is right there, in the room (so to speak).
In another the GM literally does ye olde "Go post in this thread" when we Split The Party.
The difference in the two approaches? With the Groups, once the the thread is archived, well then all the Players can enjoy reading about the Party Split. With the other... those secrets remain secret.

How and where in the player environment do Wolsey and Henry meet to talk, where neither can see the other’s intrigue history but they can secretly plot together to fool the Pope’s man? Surely you can’t have a Group set up for each individual plot and each individual meeting? There wouldn’t be enough Groups available.
PMs. I recommend them.
I don't know if the GM can archive them or not. I don't...
Nevermind, I just checked, GM can totes DL any thread he's involved in.

How do I entertain this player until I can address his idea?
That's a big question. Way above my pay grade mate.
