htaccess--one file or many?

Haven't been able to find an answer to this question during much surfing tonight/day.

RewriteEngine on starts the process, then conditions and rule, then the "L" concludes the redirection instructions--this I think I understand.

Without an "L" at the end of the rule, will the server go on to a next set of conditions/rules in the same htaccess file, or would this cause some sort of loop or breakdown (ie. list of urls with access to images followed by redirect for all others, then specific urls that are to be denied all access to files)? Is only one "RewriteEngine on" directive necessary, or should it precede each new set of conditions? Or should all Rewrite condition/rule sets be in separate htaccess files?

Thanks for your patience with yet another damn htaccess question!
