You can use the @enable attribute for both the jit.gl.node and jit.gl.videoplane to disable rendering and final display. See the patch below for how to toggle different "scenes" on and off.

Now, if I wanted to render these discrete sections in subpatchers, would there be a way to do that also? Or would they all require individual instances of jit.gl.render?

You can simply put the node, gridshape and videoplane in a subpatcher. You don’t need a gl.render except at the top level.
