Debbie,
I have long considered doing just the opposite. That is, consolidate all
1850 census by county level to at least State level and possibly even to
nationwide, (one census source per decade) to reduce source count.
I recently switched from PAF to Legacy. PAF census event has fields for
Date, Location and Description. Legacy combines Description & Location. My
county location is thus redundant, being in Source and Event Location.
As Geoff said, it is personal preference. If you do decide to separate them
I would suggest Source name "Census 1850 Wayne Co., IL", etc. to keep all
census sorted together in source list.

Subject: [LegacyUG] please - advise to correct sources?
Hello Everyone,
Advise gratefully needed.
Could anyone advise me in the best way to correct my U.S. Federal Census
Sources in the Legacy Source section?
I have learned quite a bit now that I have watched the training videos. I
now need to correct/change all my U.S. Federal Census sources. I have been
using "1850 U.S. Federal Census" as the Source name instead of "Wayne Co.,
IL - 1850 U.S. Federal Census".
So as you can guess I have a lot of work ahead of me. I could not find an
easy way (edit button, or a handy little arrow on the source List name
window) to correct my mistake. It looks like I will need to correct my
sources person by person, each individual source at a time.
