[petsc-users] Timestep Splitting Methods

I was wondering whether there is a suggested strategy to implement
something like a timestep splitting method for systems of PDE's (NS)
in Petsc.
By timestep splitting I mean this: advance independently in time each
term of the equations, then add all the solutions to get the total
effects.
>From my basic understanding of the TS object, I could basically define
only one RHS function.
Is creating several TS objects a recommended approach? What are the
downsides of this?

Many Thanks,
