You can do this with macros, as in the example below.

local vset1 x1 x2 x4 x7 x13 x18 x19 x25
global vset1 x1 x2 x4 x7 x13 x18 x19 x25

To expand a bit on this,

local opt nolog nohr difficult

local vset1 x1 x4 x7 x13 x18 x19 x25
local vset2 x1 x3 x5 x6 x7 x13 x17

streg `vset1' x2, `opt'
streg `vset2', `opt'
streg `vset1', `opt'
streg `vset2' x3, `opt'
