Linux also supports multiple swap files . But these are more

You missed the point. The kernel in OS X maintains creation and use of these files automatically. The point wasn't oh wow multiple files' it was that it creates them on the fly. I just posted back with the apparent new method that's being used. I'm not sure if the 512MB number continues or if the next file will be 1Gb or another 512M. Or of memory size affects it or not.

I'm sure developer.apple.com or apple darwin pages have the information somewhere.
