uploading resource files of a model to workshop seperately

[fexa]

if I seperate a model's materials and models files to 2 different addons would that model work without any problem?

I am asknig that because I extracted my map's all content files and will upload them seperately like;

content 1 will include all materials,
content 2 will include all models

I am not sure if this would work.

It will but you should avoid doing that.

I have a massive map content file like 350mb, what would you suggest for uploading it to workshop? Since you say avoid doing that I am curious that it can make problems with that big file.

Optimize your content, you don't need 4k or even 2k textures, use compressed texture formats (DXT) over uncompressed, etc.

There shouldn't be any "problems" with splitting technically, but it is a nuisance to the end user to download multiple workshop items for 1 map/addon.
