So there are three parts to this.
(1) selecting the right elements, e.g. with Muenchian grouping;
(2) generating the file names, probably using position()
(3) writing to multiple files, which will require the use of the
    exslt extensions, or the xt extensions, or XSLT 2,
    or some other non-XSLT-1.0 approach.

With the xt extensions, supported by xt and by libxml,
xmlns:xt="http://www.jclark.com/xt"

<xsl:template name="write-one-file">
  <xsl:param name="what-to-write" />
  <xsl:param="filename" />
  <xt:document method="html" href="{$filename}">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="$what-to-write" />
  </xs:document>
</xsl:template>

But not all processors support that. So best if you mention which XSLT
processor you're using. Always best to give people enough information to
help you :-) These days I mostly use Saxon and xsl:result-document.
