 for CLI and one for GUI?
 
 No, for quite some time now now create multiple
 packages from a single
 PKGBUILD. Take a look
 at [1] for an example of a single PKGBUILD that
 creates a package both for python2 and python3
 for instance.
 Another a bit more complex
 example can be found at [2].

 something.  I looked at wiki AUR packaging standard but not
 finding what you are referring to.  You are referring to a
 single PKGBUILD.

 As for documenting
 split packages, just take a look at the PKGBUILD man
 page [3]. :)
