Hi Robert,
there are several possible ways we can split the package and still load the
whole thing.
One is Metacello as indicated by Jakob.
It shines if wanting to support multiple dialects (Gemstone, Pharo,
Squeak), multiple versions of these dialects, and multiple release of our
own packages, with slightly different recipes concerning the package
assembly.
It also shines for gathering pacakges from several repositories or handling
complex pre-requisites (like FFI, Registers etc...).

Be warned that Pharo users did already tend to fork everything which lies
on a squeak* repo when they did use MC.
With the transition to git, I doubt you maintain anything for Pharo if not
for yourself.

https://github.com/zweidenker/Cryptography
By the way, I mistakenly uploaded two copies of Blowfish from Mariano
Martinez Peck from smalltalkhub to http://www.squeaksource.com/Cryptography
This was not necessary because they did not add anything to
Blowfish-PaulDeBruicker.10.mcz.

Cuis never used MC, so naturally also tend to republish packages with their
own format and own repository on github (mostly traditional .st chunk !).

Maybe https://github.com/KenDickey/Cuis-Smalltalk-Crypto-NaCl can be of
interest too.

This is not a critic for Cuis and Pharo, but just to underline that
cross-dialect is de facto not the criterion for selecting the packaging
techno.

If all packages lie in the same repository and no pre-requisites is
required, then there is also a much less powerful, but so much simpler
option of using a MonticelloConfigurationMap.
It is a simple .mcm file listing the sequence of MC packages and version to
load.
Packages are loaded in the order prescribed by the .mcm, and it's possible
to load latest versions (highest version numbers).
There are tools in image for constructing and saving those .mcm
