[Python] Have different Black settings for submodules in main repo

I'm cloning a repo which contains 2 submodules cloned in the subs/ folder, so the structure is like:

main_repo/
-- subs/
---- sub_01
---- sub_02


I would want each of them to have different settings, for example line length for the Black formatter and flake8, so I created 3 .vscode/settings.json file (main repo, and in each of the submodules' folders), each containing:

"[python]": {
"editor.formatOnType": false,
"editor.formatOnSave": true,
"editor.defaultFormatter": "ms-python.black-formatter",
},
"black-formatter.args": [
"--line-length=xxx".
