Additionally, you can also use the Pipeline Execute snap to modularize your pipeline into logical segments. You simply move sections of your snaps into a new pipeline and call the "child" pipeline with the Pipeline Execute snap. By setting the Pipeline Execute "Snap Execution" property to "Execute Only" it will skip this call during pipeline validation.
By the way, Pipeline Execute is a massively powerful snap that enables code modularization, code re-use, multi-threading (including load balancing across execution nodes), record batching, execution of code segments on different snaplexes, and code-segment retries. If you aren't familiar with this snap, I highly recommend looking through the documentation and examples.
