Follow split fleet orders, probably as a right-click menu.

Split to follow:
Yes - if the target splits, split to match (mass or numbers) as best you can
No - stay together and hope you follow the right thing

Follow:
Particular ship design
Particular ship class (follow those nubians!)
Category of ship (bombers, transports, warships, etc.)
Any ship

Options:
Avoid systems - if the target fleet is heading for a system, halt at a selectable distance away
Avoid minefields - if the target fleet enters a (known) minefield, halt at the edge

Following the largest fleet - all sub-fleets going to a single destination are counted as one for this; that prevents 'fooling' the opponent by (for example) splitting into 100 single-ship fleets while a decoy fleet of half a dozen worthless ships leads the enemy away from them.
