The documentation is always relevant:

You can have multiple MetadataProviders (each loading as little or as
many entities as you want). Or you can put multiple EntityDescriptor
elements (i.e., metadata for a single entity) into a shared file
within an EntitiesDescriptor element and load that within a single
MetadataProviders. An example for the latter could look like:

  <EntitiesDescriptor xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:metadata"
    Name="https://example.org/local-entities">
    
    <!-- individual EntityDescriptor elements go here, one for each SP -->
   
  </EntitiesDescriptor>
