From the documentation:

You can provide multiple Sitemap files, but each Sitemap file that you
provide must have no more than 50,000 URLs and must be no larger than
10MB (10,485,760 bytes). If you would like, you may compress your
Sitemap files using gzip to reduce your bandwidth requirement; however
the sitemap file once uncompressed must be no larger than 10MB. If you
want to list more than 50,000 URLs, you must create multiple Sitemap
files.

If you do provide multiple Sitemaps, you should then list each Sitemap
file in a Sitemap index file. Sitemap index files may not list more
than 50,000 Sitemaps and must be no larger than 10MB (10,485,760
bytes) and can be compressed. You can have more than one Sitemap index
file. The XML format of a Sitemap index file is very similar to the
XML format of a Sitemap file.

Naturally, if you are allowed to have multiple sitemaps it is not harmful to your SEO efforts.
