When you will be creating a real VM, let's assume by using KVM and GUI
program called "virt-manager", among the other settings, you will be
offered to choose a location folder and a file that will be used as
virtualized hard drive inside VM. Size of that file is also
customizable, so for an example you can create 4 such files 10Gb in size
each and inside running VM they will be seen as 4 separate physical 10Gb
HDDs.
Any real VM is basically consists of a hardware configuration profile
and a virtual hard drive image(s).

I can think of a few reasons when separating virtual hard drive images
on different physical disks could be useful, but in case of simple
experimentation with VMs there is no reason to do that. You can even
pile them up in one folder with different names and use them as is, as
long as you have free space on physical partition for them to expand.
