If by "separate projects" you mean different web sites, email lists,
etc, then no, I don't think it would be worth it.

If you mean separate git repos, then that is an open question.  I'd
lean towards keeping them together right now.  Although they produce
mostly separate binaries, there is a bit of infrastructure and
conceptual overlap to the building and executing of 16bit code that
they both share.
