Creating subplots based on a cell array

Hi,
If I have two cells like this:
cell1 = {'AA' 'AA' 'BC' 'BC' 'BC' 'DD' 'DD'; 1 2 3 4 5 6 7; 7 6 5 4 3 2 1; 5 9 8 7 6 5 4}
cell2 = {'AA' 'AA' 'BC' 'BC' 'BC' 'DD' 'DD'; 3 4 5 6 7 8 9; 2 3 4 5 6 7 8; 9 8 7 6 5 4 3}
Is there a way to create subplots based on matching the strings from the first row, where there is not necessarily an equal number of strings for all?
The final figures would look something like this:

cell1 = {'AA' 'AA' 'BC' 'BC' 'BC' 'DD' 'DD'; 1 2 3 4 5 6 7; 7 6 5 4 3 2 1; 5 9 8 7 6 5 4};
cell2 = {'AA' 'AA' 'BC' 'BC' 'BC' 'DD' 'DD'; 3 4 5 6 7 8 9; 2 3 4 5 6 7 8; 9 8 7 6 5 4 3};
assert(isequal(cell1(1,:),cell2(1,:)))
figure('Position',[50 50 500 1200]); % make a tall figure to see the subplots clearly
[g,g_id] = findgroups(cell1(1,:));
N = numel(g_id);
for ii = 1:N
idx = find(g == ii);
n = numel(idx);
for jj = 1:n
subplot(N*n,1,(ii-1)*n+jj)
plot([cell1{2:end,idx(jj)}],[cell2{2:end,idx(jj)}]);
title(cell1{1,idx(jj)});
end
end

for nc = 1:numberColumnsThisAlpha
nexttile
plot(numbers1(:,nc),numbers2(:,nc))
end
