At least the task of putting your separate procedures into files can be done 
automatically by GNAT. Say I modify (manually or automatically) a package to 
meet the standard you mention (modifications with "**"):

--8<-----------8<-----------8<---sep.txt-8<---------
package A is
   procedure B1;
   procedure B2;
end A;
package body A is
   procedure B1 is separate; -- ** line added **
   procedure B2 is separate; -- ** line added **
end A; -- ** line added **
separate(A) -- ** line added **
   procedure B1 is
   begin
     null;
   end B1;
separate(A) -- ** line added **
   procedure B2 is
   begin
     null;
   end B2;
-- end A; -- ** line commented out **
--8<-----------8<-----------8<-----------8<---------

Then gnatchop will do the following:
gnatchop sep.txt
splitting sep.txt into:
    a.ads
    a.adb
    a~b1.adb
    a~b2.adb

Then, you just need to rename your files with '-' instead of '~'.
