Basically as per my experience multiple number of struts-config.xml file is not required always but in few cases when the project flow has many modules/sections and the development team want to maintain a separation layer for all module including struts fetures at that time we may require it.Here is the easy steps you can follow :-

Steps to Follow :-

 First few changes in WEB-INF/web.xml

Now, create 2 ( any number of xml file you can do) xml file as mentioned inside the web.xml file.

struts-config.xml 

struts-extra-config.xml
  

 struts-config.xml 

 

struts-extra-config.xml ( This is 2nd struts config file)

Now create 2 action file (Action Servlet) as per our example :-

MainactionAction.java

ExtrastrutsfileAction.java


MainactionAction.java

ExtrastrutsfileAction.java 

Finally create 3 jsp file for mapping forword .

index.jsp

main_struts_config_jsp.jsp

extra_struts_config_jsp.jsp

index.jsp

This file is first file from which we will send request to action.
