Stamatis>it seems that a single LICENCE
Stamatis>file with some separator is very common

I'm not that sure.
For instance, in JMeter we have ~1MiB of license texts.
Having that "with some separator" would probably be more like a torture for
the reader.

Stamatis>Lucene

That is an interesting example.
Here's a binary download url:
https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.lua/lucene/java/8.1.1/lucene-8.1.1.tgz

Their LICENSE is 24KiB  (Apache-2.0 is ~11KiB)
Then they have "/licenses/" folder that contains license texts as follows:

asm-commons-5.1.jar.sha1
asm-commons-LICENSE-BSD_LIKE.txt
asm-commons-NOTICE.txt
antlr4-runtime-4.5.1-1.jar.sha1
antlr4-runtime-LICENSE-BSD.txt
antlr4-runtime-NOTICE.txt
httpclient-4.5.6.jar.sha1
httpclient-LICENSE-ASL.txt
httpclient-NOTICE.txt

and so on.

*.sha1 contain checksums for the jars (not for the licenses)
ASF / BSD_LIKE seems to be a classification of their choice.
