Then the placement of the MDL is handled through another BGL file that tells FS9 place GUID at this Lat/Lon.
If you break the work into smaller pieces or keep it as one, how it is dealt with is the same. You're either explicitly placing one or many MDLs at a specific location or if it's a library BGL, then there would be another placement BGL that say put one or more GUIDs at this/these locations.
Say this was a large terminal and breaking it down to three pieces was what was needed, each of the three pieces need to be placed seperately. While they might be "One MDL" to you, to FS9 or FSX they are three objects to be handled.
Clear as mud?
