Mutli-movement works are stored in a single file. However it is difficult to identity where and how many movements the encoding has. Sections are given as a flat list, regardless of whether or not the section is describing a movement or a section of a movement.
@craigsapp, this is due to the uncorrected output from the conversion from MusicXML, since it (MusicXML) has no way of indicating movement boundaries. I'll work on fixing this in the Telemann (already done in the Hummel), but I just wanted to let you know the genesis of the problem.
Looking more closely at the Telemann, the score is presented without breaks between the "movements" -- Each new movement begins on the same system as the previous one. Each movement (including the 1st) has a tempo indication that includes a number, but there's no system break between movements.
So, there's some "dissonance" (forgive the pun) between the "logic" of a multi-movement work and the visual display as a "sectional" composition. Giving precedence to one or the other creates a burden to encode the other. In its present form (using sections), the encoding doesn't capture the movement structure. But, using <mdiv> elements to emphasize the movements makes it impossible (given the current schema) to capture the visual presentation.
Therefore, I'm inclined to leave the encoding as it is until we can resolve this dichotomy.

In Particular, the Teleman Concerto:
https://github.com/music-encoding/sample-encodings/blob/master/MEI_3.0/Music/Complete_examples/Telemann_Concert.mei
has 5 sections, but apparently 4 movements.
A similar thing happens in the Hummel trumpet concerto.
