Just solved that way:

my @groups = ();
my $pred = -1;
my $j = 0;
while ($string =~ m/$regex/g){
        $pred == $-[0] or $j++;
        $groups[$j] += $+[0] - $-[0];
        $pred = $+[0];
        }

And reduced regex to:

qr{
                           # start of full pattern
        \(                  # match an opening parenthesis
                (?0)*        # recurse to capture full pattern
        \)                  # match a closing parenthesis
                           # end of  full pattern
}x;

UPDATE: seems that using recursive regex is dangerous, because in rare random "unlucky cases" it takes very much time, although in often "lucky cases" it takes little amount of time. I found seemingly better and faster (or say more stable) way - just glue long regex and use+modify through iterations against the target string. Code:

#use strict;
use warnings;
use Time::HiRes;
$|++;

srand;
my @lines = <>;
my $n     = 50000;
my $long  = '';
   $long .= qw{( )}[ int(rand() * 2) ] for 1 .. $n;
   
push @lines, $long;

my @lines2 = @lines;

my $start = Time::HiRes::time();

my $depth = 10; # some depth parameter
my $pre_regex2 = 
'(?:\((?:\d+,)*(?:\)|' x $depth . '(?!)' . '\)))+' x $depth;
# if $depth == 1 then looks: '(?:\((?:\d+,)*(?:\)|x\)))+';
#    (?:
#        \(
#            (?:\d+,)*    (?:
#                            \)
#                            |
#                            (?!)\)
#                        )
#    )+
my $regex2 = qr/$pre_regex2/;
my $regex3 = qr/(?:\d+,){2,}/;

for my $string (@lines2){
    
    while ( 
        $string =~ s/$regex2/
            $a=$&,
            $b=()=$a=~m{[)(]}g,
            $a=~s{\d+,}{$b+=$&,''}eg,
            "$b,"
            /eg 
        or
        $string =~ s/$regex3/
            $a=$&,
            $b=0,
            $a=~s{\d+,}{$b+=$&,''}eg,
            "$b,"
            /eg

        {}

    my $occ = 0;
    for my $group (@groups){
        $occ += $max == $group
        }
    $max or $occ=1;
    print "$max $occ\n";
    }
    
print Time::HiRes::time() - $start, $/;

$start = Time::HiRes::time();

my $regex =
qr{
    \(                  # match an opening parenthesis
         (?0)*          # recurse to capture full pattern

            {

                last;

Usually first block takes ~0,5 sec, when second block (recursive regex) takes from 0.01 sec to more than 5 sec.
