>It's feasible make multiple smaller boards on the bigger ones by panelizing the PCB. The joints between the boards are specially processed, which is easier to divide later. Rails can be added around the boards for fixing during processing.
I've seen at least one PCB shop that asks customers not to panelize for small lots, so they can mix layouts from several customers and get better packing efficiency.
