Why not write a class of your own that implements the behavior of a disjoint
radio button matrix.   As I see it, you would connect each individual button
to the "Coordinator" class and it would manage making sure that they (as a
group) have the behavior of a radio matrix.  That is, one button on at a
time.  This shouldn't take long to implement at all (like, less than an
hour).
