Receiving systems may decide (or not) to group single-analyte results one way or another (typically the way they were ordered ...) but that is an implementation detail. A result may carry with it a reference to the order to facilitate such grouping.
but in some cases at least, you would presumably agree that the panel analytes taken together provide a useful picture. E.g. docs tend to read a lipids panel as a panel, not just (say) the total cholesterol, but the HDL / LDL / ratio (or whatever the current science says matters!); same for a blood panel...
So, having that panel which was performed from the same sample, taken at a certain time is what ties them together, not just the order.
