faites exploser [les groupes de rocher]
The semantics of "exploser" includes both "blast" and "apart", I don't see any difficulty here.
Depending on your overal style, you willl say "Faites exploser" or "Faire exploser".
PS: From the discussion (2 entries sofar) it sounds like a video game context, that's why I opted for the direct imperative. Can you confirm?

Discussion
groups of blocks? what kind of blocks? On-screen pictures of rocks? Blocks of text?
"Blast ...apart" with what? some virtual explosive?
It's difficult to get the "right nuance" with what what you have given so far ...
"Blast the groups of blocks apart so they don't fill up your screen."
