    Here's another approach, using a single legend, but using a fold transform to unpivot, and a calculate transform to assign a unique 'grouping' value that can be coloured accordingly. This solution uses a single mark also:

    {
  "$schema": "https://vega.github.io/schema/vega-lite/v5.json",
  "data": {
    "values": [
      {"A": 10, "B": 20, "Z": "poop", "created": "2022/01/01"},
      {"A": 10, "B": 10, "Z": "moop", "created": "2022/01/01"},
      {"A": 10, "B": 5, "Z": "doop", "created": "2022/01/01"},
      {"A": 13, "B": 12, "Z": "poop", "created": "2022/02/01"},
      {"A": 33, "B": 10, "Z": "moop", "created": "2022/02/01"},
      {"A": 0, "B": 5, "Z": "doop", "created": "2022/02/01"},
      {"A": 13, "B": 5, "Z": "poop", "created": "2022/03/01"},
      {"A": 3, "B": 2, "Z": "moop", "created": "2022/03/01"},
      {"A": 20, "B": 7, "Z": "doop", "created": "2022/03/01"}
    ]
  },
  "transform": [
    {"timeUnit": "month", "field": "created", "as": "month"},
    {"fold": ["A", "B"], "as": ["series", "value"]},
    {"calculate": "datum.series + ': ' + datum.Z", "as": "grouping"}
  ],
  "mark": "bar",
  "encoding": {
    "x": {"timeUnit": "month", "field": "created", "type": "ordinal"},
    "y": {"field": "value", "type": "quantitative"},
    "color": {"field": "grouping"}
  }
}
