I don't think there is any hard rule, but usually a patch series implies
a dependency between the patches, i.e. patch 2 cannot build without
patch 1. For what you sent so far this is not the case, so separate
patches is fine and maybe even preferable as they can be applied
individually whereas maintainers tend to consider series as "all or
nothing" (there are exceptions of course).

No worries. If I may recommend b4 [1] for managing your patch series, it
ususally just does the right thing for you.
