Hi, I have written short tutorial of how we use Blender with OSG in our project. I added a short tutorial of separating meshes for multimaterial export: http://www.arthis.jyu.fi/ida/bosgexp.php
I hope it helps. Of course, when you model for OSG, you know that limitation and you separate things while you are modelling. This thread is indeed interesting. It is nice to know there are other Blender users here. Maybe we should open thread, for example in blenderartists? (http://blenderartists.org/forum/). There we could share experiences without making traffic to this list.
