There's a short breakdown here that pulls together what each author has said about the process: https://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/163819/what-did-each-of-gaiman-and-pratchett-contribute-to-good-omens

Linked in the above is also this: https://www.elizabethcallaway.net/good-omens-stylometry which I thought was quite interesting. Mostly for the add-on by Gaiman that he had a contribution to Moving Pictures, but also the fact that there is hardly any section of the novel that is purely attributable to one author - they were editing, suggesting, and rewriting each other's parts.

I purchased Good Omens on kindle last year, because my OG copy was long gone, and it has a few bonus interviews at the end. This is taken from one of them: "The point they both realized the text had wandered into its own world was in the basement of the old Gollancz books, where they’d got together to proofread the final copy, and Neil congratulated Terry on a line that Terry knew he hadn’t written, and Neil was certain he hadn’t written either. They both privately suspect that at some point the book had started to generate text on its own, but neither of them will actually admit this publicly for fear of being thought odd."
