To put it other way around, imagine that I have received file with mentioned
formula in cell. I know what it outputs, but I don't know how. I would like to
debug it and understand what exactly it is doing.

What are my options? Is separating repeating parts of formula onto other cells
the only way?

My preferred way for analysing a complicated/long formula is to copy
the formula to a text editor and break it apart there. For instance, I
find nested IFs much easier to understand/analyse if arranged in a
programmatic layout.

And, of course, if the cells a formula references can all be seen
simultaneously, there is always the F2 key to help get some idea of
what the formula is doing.
