Pat,

You don't need to extend anything special to produce multiple files. You
can create as many FlowFiles as you want and transfer them to a
relationship, such as...

FlowFile childFlowFile = session.create(original);
// create more

List<FlowFile> flowFiles = new ArrayList<FlowFile>();
flowFiles.add(childFLowFile);

session.transfer(flowFIles, YOUR_RELATIONSHIP);

Good examples might be SplitJson or SplitXML.
