as far as I know usually all subdivisions of the first violins would be 
contained in one part, though of course at some point that stops making 
sense. Printing individual parts for each subdivision is easy with the 
approach I demonstrated in demo-string-divisi.ly (see my previous post 
in this thread). Either set it up so that \RemoveAllEmptyStaves is 
effective only for the score in the first place, or use something like

\score {
  \vlIB
  \layout {
    \context {
      \Staff
      \override VerticalAxisGroup.remove-empty = ##f
    }
  }
}

for the part.

Best, Simon
