You can have nested fieldset elements, yes.
You can even group the checkboxes in a fieldset and add
aria-label="something descriptive as a group label" if you don't need
a nested <legend> with visible text.
Just make sure that group comes after the radio buttons, not between
the yes and the no, in content/focus order, it could potentially
create a lot of confusion.
