Is there a reason to create more than one Sector in Stellaris?
The only reason to create another Sector, that our empire found so far, is that unconnected systems can't be added to an existing Sector.
Are there any other reasons/advantages/disadvantages?
Best Answer
As someone already mentioned in a comment, another reason is to more easily manage the factions/reduce the potential damage of a sector breaking away.
Having a fairly large sector with important planets break away can totally ruin your empire. Having multiple smaller sectors mitigates that risk

Answer 2
A third reason, unless the UI is faking me out, is that each sector has an energy/mining cap (which in my last game at least was equal to my main cap). If you're running a surplus of energy credits and/or mining credits (and can spare the influence to get 75% of it later), you can create a 2nd or 3rd sector and mainly just use it as a dumping ground for resources until you need to cash it in. (This assumes you don't see anything e.g. in How should I spend energy credits? that you'd rather use your excess for)
Answer 3
Each sector has its own governor. So when you have more sectors, you need more governors, but you can also pick governors with perks which are especially beneficial for a given sector.
For example, when a sector has a lot of new colonies, you might want one with "Architectural Sense" and/or "Environmental Engineer" to save on development cost. When a sector consists of colonies annexed from a slave species, you want one with "Iron Fist".
