Thankfully, it is quite straightforward. In your template, use <xsl:call-template name="named-thingy"/>, and then at the top level (between templates) you can <xsl:include> the stylesheet fragment that has <xsl:template name="named-thingy"/>.

Sorry, the <xsl:template name="named-thingy"> wouldn't be empty, it would contain the literal result elements and instructions you need to execute to produce your result.


Called templates can have parameterized variables and can be invoked on demand as many times as you need, so you can probably distill further fragments at a finer level of granularity that your called templates can, themselves, call to help with code maintenance.

Apologies for the slip of the fingers.
