We had problems when we ran out of SWAP space and the system locked

At that time we had a v-disk of 512 MB only.  We added two more SWAP

has 4 GB of real memory defined.  I have noticed that going over 512
GB of SWAP on the v-disk is a very rare occurence.  am I better off
with two additional SWAP spaces or should I break them up into smaller
ones?

I would break them up smaller, but it basically boils down to a
tradeoff of configuration complexity versus economy of allocation.
If you have way more real storage than sysadmin time, leave two big
ones; if you are short on storage, slice up the swap.
