plot grid of bar charts or wrap bar chart using python (matplotlib)

I want to create horizontal bar chart using python, but there are too many categories like this

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
x = ['c0', 'c1', 'c2', 'c3', 'c4',
     'c5', 'c6', 'c7', 'c8', 'c9',
     'c10', 'c11', 'c12', 'c13', 'c14',
     'c15', 'c16', 'c17', 'c18', 'c19',
     'c20', 'c21', 'c22', 'c23', 'c24',
     'c25', 'c26', 'c27', 'c28', 'c29']
    
 y = [9556, 9318, 9308, 2556, 2424, 1812, 1624, 1468, 1398, 1344, 1200,
    1056, 888, 732, 732, 704, 684, 680, 666, 660, 636, 624,
    576, 552, 544, 532, 468, 448, 448, 436]
    
 plt.barh(new_x, new_y)

enter image description here The above code is only a part of the categories, in fact, the number of my categories is more than 200. I want to cut into two subplots to present, like this

enter image description here

Is there any way to plot the above graph in python?

Use an index to split your data, and a vertical subplot to plot you data. E.g. something like this:

split = len(x) // 2
fig, (ax1, ax2) = plt.subplots(1, 2, sharex=True, sharey=False, figsize=(10, 8))


x = ['c0', 'c1', 'c2', 'c3', 'c4',
     'c5', 'c6', 'c7', 'c8', 'c9',
     'c10', 'c11', 'c12', 'c13', 'c14',
     'c15', 'c16', 'c17', 'c18', 'c19',
     'c20', 'c21', 'c22', 'c23', 'c24',
     'c25', 'c26', 'c27', 'c28', 'c29']
    
y = [9556, 9318, 9308, 2556, 2424, 1812, 1624, 1468, 1398, 1344, 1200,
1056, 888, 732, 732, 704, 684, 680, 666, 660, 636, 624,
576, 552, 544, 532, 468, 448, 448, 436]

ax1.barh(x[0:split], y[0:split])
ax2.barh(x[split:], y[split:])

Result: enter image description here

Tweak the plot further to get your plots the same as your example.
