It's exactly as if all your scripts are put together. In any order. First all the init blocks are executed, then the splashscreen or main menu is called, and unless you've overridden it the game will start at the Start label. Then you can jump around as you wish.
For example, in When I Rule The World I had two files just containing init (images.rpy for the images and init.rpy for everything else); one file (chapter1.rpy) for the first section of script, from the start: label up until the second choice; one file for each of the branches from there (eletis.rpy and takeshi.rpy), which can under some circumstances jump between one and the other; and one file for the credits and ending (omake.rpy). Those correspond to the different .rpyc files you see in the WIRTW game directory. I renamed them for release to avoid giving anything away about the plot structure.
