As kiwibill points out, it depends on the scoring algorithm the players
use.

But this is an edge case that has no bearing (due to the multiple eyes both

but what if each group also had 1 eye filled?

Now it becomes a SEKI case.   The player who plays the piece that
fills in the middle will lose their entire group
