If the data file, header file and VIDF file all terminate at the same time boundaries, there is no need to split your data set into separate virtual instruments. All changes can be handled through the creation of multiple VIDF files to define the state of the instrument at each of the designated time segments. If the cross over to a new VIDF file will happen in the middle of a data file, then you must examine the information that is changing to determine if multiple VIDFS can be used to describe the new state of the instrument. There are some defined parameters within the VIDF that can not change from VIDF to VIDF, even though the data set may require that change.
