Create multiple layers from single geojson using Tippecanoe

Question

I have a geojson file, small4326.geojson:

I am using this file to produce .pbf tiles using Tippecanoe. Within each feature's property there is the layer field, specifying which layer I want the given feature to be.

Currently, if I do:

tippecanoe -Z 10 -z 13 -e restiles --force small4326.geojson --no-tile-compression

I get as output:

For layer 0, using name "small4326"
8 features, 214 bytes of geometry, 8 bytes of separate metadata, 36 bytes of string pool
  99.6%  13/4563/1894  

As expected, all features go to a single layer. I would like to have the first two Features go into a layer called layer0, the second pair to layer1, and so on, each Feature to the layer specified by the layer field of the given Feature:

I prefer not to separate the file into separate geojsons, because in my real world application, it is huge, and I cannot handle it using standard tools like jq without running out of memory.

How can I tell Tippecanoe to create separate layers, and place each Feature to the layer specified in the layer field in its properties?
