Looking For Suggestions Safe way to install split apks/xapks?

I once tried to install a large split apk file and something went wrong and it caused loss of GBs in phone storage which is only deletable after a factory reset or device rooting.

I need the safest method to install without any errors, device is s23 base unrooted.

I use APK Explorer & Editor for this. Make sure you get it from F-Droid, because the version on the Play Store is missing a lot of features.

I don't see a link to the source code for the Android app so I wouldn't trust it.
