Modular Cidri

Actually, Cidri is described in the introduction to In the Labyrinth....

"... WHAT Cidri is. Certainly no ordinary planet, Cidri is BIG. No complete map ofits surface is known. The standard work, compiled two hundred years ago by the Imperial College of Cartographers at Predimuskity, shows 48 continents (defined as land masses of over 5,000,000 square km.); five of these are in excess of 60,000,000 square km. Almost half the known surface of Cidri is covered with water; most of its seas are dotted with islands. Yet even the great Book of Maps lists nine hundred and eleven locations which cannot be found within the known area - including the mountain city of Paska-Dal, which (by Gate) has carried on commerce with gem merchants everywhere for at least four
hundred years.
Yet build it the Mnoren did - a whole enormous world.
And, having built it, they peopled it. Farmers, technicians, servants, guards, slaves, stowaways . . . plants for gardens, jungles, and fields . . . animals for companions, food, hunting, or to balance the thousands of ecologies interweaving across the planet . . . creatures great and small from every one of the worlds they knew."

So clearly it is a single gigantic planet. Nevertheless, due to the existence of the Gates, there no reason that connections with other planets can't exist.
