Build many sub-playbooks and aggregate them via include statements.
- include: playbook-one.yml
- include: playbook-two.yml

Note - 
include is deprecated. docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/playbooks_reuse.html import_playbook: foo is the right way to go

For newer versions of Ansilbe, you can build many sub-playbooks and aggregate them via import_playbook statements:
---
- import_playbook: A-systemd-networkd.yml
- import_playbook: B-fail2ban-ssh.yml
- import_playbook: C-enable-watchdog.ymlCode language: PHP (php)
