I think breaking a big PR up like this is usually fair
Sometimes I get really into a problem and just build. It results in very large PRs.
Marking the PR as a draft epic then breaking it down into a sequence smaller PRs makes it much easier to review. But you can solicit big picture critique there.
I’m also a huge fan of documentation, so each PR needs to be clear, describe the bigger picture, and link back to your epic.
