Accidentally created a charcther in 1 symbol/layer

I created a character using pixel drawing, I later transformed it to vector drawing using image trace in illustrator. Some of the lines did however not get completely draw so I used object drawing to do some finish touches on my character. I do however want to transform my characters into smaller piece (1 layer for arm 1 for legs etc.) but i dont know how to do it or if its even possbible.
