So if i want to have a sprite bigger than the 16*16 ill just make it higher with still 16 in tiles in width. so far so good, but am i able to use multiple different sprite on a single stage? Or is it only possible to have 1 spritesheet as source to draw on the current stage? (Based on the idea to split map/character sprites, so i just load the current map sprite instead of a giant map sprite. This way i would need a second sprite for character/items or put those character items in each of the map sprites).

You can use as many tilesheet as you need. The only limitation is that a tilemap can only use one tilesheet at a time (but can be swapped at execution time).

API are as follow:

Texture.setTilesheet(image); // set the tilesheet for this texture only. set image to null to unlink the tilsheet and use the default one. Texture.setGlobalTilesheet(image); // set the default texture globally // Note: the main screen is a Texture accessible with the global $screen variable

TileMap.setTilesheet(image); // swap the tilesheet for this tilemap

Note2: images can be another texture. So it is possible to procedurally generate and use tilesheets.
