As I understand, you can simply specify additional alias directors:

additional_aliases_1:
driver = aliasfile
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
file = /etc/exim/aliases.1
search_type = lsearch

additional_aliases_2:
driver = aliasfile
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
file = /etc/exim/aliases.2
search_type = lsearch

And so on. If address not found in /etc/aliases, it will be looked for in
/etc/exim/aliases.1, /etc/exim/aliases.2. If address not found in all these
files, it will be passed to other directors.

Sorry for bad English and possible errors. :)
