We typically split it up like:

 - sys/dev/ic/if_rt.... (where ... could be some chipset number typical
   for this realtek family). There would be .c and .h files.
 - sys/dev/pci/if_rtwn.c the pci specific parts of the driver, using the
   code from dev/ic as a "library"
 - sys/dev/usb/if_urtwn.c the usb specific parts

In this case I don't think this makes much sense, as you have to understand
the common parts first, so you can not finish one driver and then do the
other.
