Whatever makes it easier for you to write/read. You can have more  
variables in one file or have a file (with all the variables in it)  
included in another file, or have one variable used inside another  
one, for example

one = \relative c' { c4 d e c }
two = \relative c' { e4 f g2 }
three = \relative c' { g'8 a g f e4 c }
four = \relative c' { c4 g c2 }
piano = { \time 4/4 \one \one \two \two \three \three \four \four }

\score
  {
    \new Staff <<
      \piano
    >>
  }

etc..... The important thing is to make easy understandable, but the  
big advantage is to be able to do some of the parts, get these OK and  
build on it.
