Hi,
As per Microsoft documentation the SP is created along with the Application when you deploy it, "when you register/update an application in the Azure portal, the portal creates/updates both an application object and a corresponding service principal object for that tenant. The application object defines the application's identity configuration globally (across all tenants where the associated application has been granted access), and is the template from which its corresponding service principal object(s) are derived for use locally at run-time (in a specific tenant).
So basically it all comes down to the requirements and the application object is the global representation of your application for use across all tenants, and the service principal is the local representation for use in a specific tenant.
So you dont create specific SPN but application objects and that in turn creates the base application + SPN please see this flow chart.
Also you can test the App registration process for quick start - quickstart-register-app
