Not quite sure what you want. What's wrong with
. graph bar x1 x2 x3 x4 x5, perc over(z) over(y)
Probably you want to group y in, say, 10 categories beforehand:
. gen ygroup = autocode(y,10,1,n)
. graph bar x1 x2 x3 x4 x5, perc over(z) over(ygroup)

Yes, it is. Check out the group_options in -help bar-. An example is shown
below.
. graph bar x1-x5, perc ///
over(z, relabel(1 "mylab" 2 `""1st line" "1nd line""'))
