- Breaking up the source data by town might not make sense. Ideally, each OSM chuck will be small enough where somebody can do a good job checking it over and uploading in in less than an hour or so. You also want to keep each upload < 5,000 nodes/ways. An entire town might be too large. 
- Selecting chunks of data in JOSM is tricky. Consider the case of having a multi-polygon building laying on the border of a town. 


You might also want to take a look at this program (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Splitter). You can specify it to have a certain number of nodes as the maximum, and it divides the data into enough rectangles to meet the conditions. It also handles relations and multipolygons well.
