In the writer feature type parameters you can set the shapefile name, if you select an attribute there it will make a new shapefile for each unique value of that attribute, so if you have an attribute with a unique identifyer it'll create one shapefile per feature (and if you don't have such an attribute you can use the Counter to create it.
So here for example I've picked the attribute "id" as my shapefile name.
Hope this helps.
