grounding all panels, one wire?

Hi,

I have a two apartment house, two fuse panels 100A each, floor one
(panel one) has a #6 grounding
wire directly connected to the neutral bus and then to the main water
pipe, floor two (panel two) doesn't have one.
Can I directly connect a #6 grounding wire to the neutral bus on panel
two and then to panel one's neutral bus or to
the beginning of panel one's ground wire with a split-bolt connector.
Because I don't understand when you have multiple
service panels and a single grounding electrode wire. theres one wire,
multiple panels, how do you tie them together and size
them?

Thanks.
