Cyclotomy, firstly introduced by Gauss, is an important topic in Mathematics since it has a number of applications in number theory, combinatorics, coding theory and cryptography. Depending on $v$ prime or composite, cyclotomy on a residue class ring ${\mathbb{Z}}_{v}$ can be divided into classical cyclotomy or generalized cyclotomy. Inspired by a foregoing work of Zeng et al. [40], we introduce a generalized cyclotomy of order $e$ on the ring ${\rm GF}(q_1)\times {\rm GF}(q_2)\times \cdots \times {\rm GF}(q_k)$, where $q_i$ and $q_j$ ($i\neq j$) may not be co-prime, which includes classical cyclotomy as a special case. Here, $q_1$, $q_2$, $\cdots$, $q_k$ are powers of primes with an integer $e|(q_i-1)$ for any $1\leq i\leq k$. Then we obtain some basic properties of the corresponding generalized cyclotomic numbers. Furthermore, we propose three classes of partitioned difference families by means of the generalized cyclotomy above and $d$-form functions with difference balanced property. Afterwards, three families of optimal constant composition codes from these partitioned difference families are obtained, and their parameters are also summarized.
