Suggested place to put Plugin settings

I have a plugin place in my vimrc that looks like this:

 " Plugins {{{
 call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')

     " Vim-airline: status-bar for vim: https://github.com/vim-airline/vim-airline
     Plug 'vim-airline/vim-airline'
     Plug 'vim-airline/vim-airline-themes'

    "...

call plug#end()
" }}}

And then I have a bunch of settings for each of the plugins that look something like:

let g:ultisnipseditsplit="tabdo"
let g:UltiSnipsJumpForwardTrigger="<tab>"
let g:UltiSnipsJumpBackwardTrigger="<s-tab>"

What is the suggested place to put the plugin settings? Should it be, for example, inside the Plugin section? (perhaps a 2nd fold-level down?). Should I create a new fold-section for it (one for Plugins and one for Plugin-Settings?), or where is this suggested place to put all the settings?

For plugins, I usually use ~/.vim/after/plugin/config/<name>.vim. I’m taking advantage of after being one of the last directories on the runtime path and anything under plugin directories getting sourced at startup.

For as many plugins as I can, I include a check to avoid configuring them (setting mappings, global vars, etc.) if they are not loaded (i.e., don’t exist). For some this is not possible.

It's complete preference. Most people keep them in their vimrc, but if you think it's getting bloated, then sure - extract it to a separate file and you can source it at the bottom of your vimrc like so:

source ~/.plugins.vim
