As per the Active Directory Integration with Cisco ISE 2.x document:
"Policy rule conditions may reference any of the following: a user’s or computer’s primary group, the groups of which a user or computer is a direct member, or indirect (nested) groups."
I'm not aware of any documented testing/validation of the limits of nested group depth, but this would likely be guided by the Microsoft-imposed limits and best-practices based on the software version.
Example... Active Directory Maximum Limits - Scalability
