Never having worked on a multi-programmer project until recently, I am interested in just how one manages the splitting of the job.

Two of us did manage to do it, but only by intensive discussions and sketching, it is almost impossible to convey your mental model of a project to someone in words alone !

The FATAL error in many projects is specification creep. Just because we can doesn't mean we should implement the brilliant feature we just thought of. We now call a halt to the spec shortly after we have demoed a code prototype. The spec creeps on for V2, V3 (and yes code maintenance does happen, it leads to better products at a much lower cost than "new" ones)
