See what I mean here  https://image.ibb.co/bzL5aL/divisiexample.png how can
I create divisi from full score without going crzy?

\version "2.19.80"
\language "english"
#(set-global-staff-size 18)
\header {
  title = "Composition"
  % Remove default LilyPond tagline
  tagline = ##f
}

\paper {
  #(set-paper-size "folio")
}

global = {
  \key c \major
  \numericTimeSignature
  \time 5/4
  \tempo "Slow"
}

violinI = \relative c'' {
  \global
  % Music follows here.
  \repeat unfold 10 { c4 d c d8 ef8 f4 }
  \repeat unfold 4 {
    <<
      { c'16 c c c r4 cs16 cs cs cs r4 c}
      \\ { \tuplet 3/2 { < ef,, a>4 q q } <c' e>8 q q q q4 }
    >>
  }
  |
  c1~c4 c1~c4 R1*5/4*4
}

violinII = \relative c'' {
  \global
  % Music follows here.
  R1*25
}

viola = \relative c' {
  \global
  % Music follows here.
  R1*25
}

cello = \relative c {
  \global
  % Music follows here.
  R1*25
}

contrabass = \relative c {
  \global
  % Music follows here.
  \repeat unfold 10 { c2 d c d4 ef4 f2 }
}

violinIPart = \new Staff \with {
  instrumentName = "Violin I"
} \violinI

violinIIPart = \new Staff \with {
  instrumentName = "Violin II"
} \violinII

violaPart = \new Staff \with {
  instrumentName = "Viola"
} { \clef alto \viola }

celloPart = \new Staff \with {
  instrumentName = "Cello"
} { \clef bass \cello }

contrabassPart = \new Staff \with {
  instrumentName = "Contrabass"
} { \clef bass \contrabass }

\score {
  \new StaffGroup <<
    \violinIPart
    \violinIIPart
    \violaPart
    \celloPart
    \contrabassPart
  >>
  \layout { }
