There's many ways to separate an Open API specification file, but it all boils down to using `$ref`. You can use `$ref` in certain contexts to refer to other specification files for components or even JSON Schema files.

Stoplight Studio can help you manage your refs as well: https://meta.stoplight.io/docs/platform/ZG9jOjM2OTM3Mjk0-using-references
