<xsl:template match="a">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::b[
                        generate-id(preceding-sibling::a[1]) 
                        = generate-id(current())
                        ]"/>
</xsl:template>

This roughly translated means for every <a> apply templates to every
following <b> whose nearest preceding-sibling <a> is that <a>.
