In the main Hauptwerk user guide's routing sections, 'Example 6: multi-channel audio with 24 (or more) speakers configured as stereo pairs in 3 groups of 4 pairs each, with different organ divisions routed to different groups, optionally plus a sub-woofer, optionally with an additional pair of ‘rear’ speakers for surround-sound, optionally with an additional pair of speakers as an ‘aux reverb mix’ with added reverb (which can be bypassed, or its wetness adjusted, on a per-organ basis)' (pages 216-221 in the current v6.0.1 version) gives an example of routing different divisions to different groups. (If you only want to use a single stereo pair of speakers for each division, then you would only want one mixer bus, i.e. speaker pair, in each of your groups/divisions).
Iain Stinson also made a tutorial here: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=17916
For a comparison between v6's and v4's routing, you might perhaps also find this helpful:

v6's underlying routing architecture is exactly the same as v4's -- the screens have just been renamed slightly (and they can also now do a lot more that v4 couldn't, and quicker, and all in real-time, and with visual feed-back).
For example:
- v4: 'General settings | Audio outputs' screen is now:
- v6: 'General settings | Audio mixer' screen.
- v4 'primary audio outputs' on the 'General settings | Audio outputs' screen are now the:
- v6 'primary mixer buses' on the 'General settings | Audio mixer' screen.
- v4 'aux mix-down outputs' on the 'General settings | Audio outputs' screen are now the:
- v6 'master mix buses' on the 'General settings | Audio mixer' screen.
- v4: 'General settings | Audio output groups' screen is now:
- v6: 'General settings | Audio mixer bus groups' screen.
- v4: ranks were routed to audio output groups using the ''Organ | Load organ, adjusting rank ... screen.
- v6: ranks are routed to audio mixer bus groups using 'Organ settings | Rank routing …' screen.
Hence if you like, in v6 you can just imagine you're using v4, and use the differently-named screens above in the same way that you would use them in v4. I.e.:
- Set up some primary buses on the mixer for your speaker pairs ('General settings | Audio mixer' screen).
- Put those buses into groups as desired ('General settings | Audio mixer bus groups' screen).
- Route ranks to the desired groups ('Organ settings | Rank routing …' screen).
[For v4-type audio routing, just ignore the additional new 'audio output perspectives' on the voicing/panning and rank routing screens, since they're intended for surround/3D sound. You can also just ignore 'mixer presets' 2-7 if you want all organs to use the same audio groups, as would have been necessary in v4.]
