It depends on whether you are using PMI 1 or PMI 2.

For PMI 1 (using the BuildModel macro) specify the components you want 
in each rigid body and super rigid body in your Python script.

For PMI 2 (using the BuildSystem macro) use the relevant columns in the 
topology file. In order for two components to be in the same rigid body, 
you should use the same number in the rigid body column. Looks like you 
have that right for rigid bodies already.
