The explanation is that in a reconnaissance unit there is only the one Gruppe, no matter how many Staffeln it has. From memory all recce units were single independent Gruppen, rather than being part of a Geschwader structure.

Both F 122 and F 123 got as far as having a 6. Staffel, although I'm not sure all six were in being at any given time.
