I have a file that contains (provide 'tema) at the end. What will
happen if I add more function after the aforementioned clause ?

Provided I do not use autoloads and the provide statement is not at the end, right ?

Irrelevant. When code `require's the feature,
the library with the `provide' is loaded.
Period.
___
The only connection with autoload is this, from
(elisp) `Named Features':
When a file is loaded to satisfy an autoload, and it stops due
to an error in the evaluation of its contents, any function
definitions or ‘provide’ calls that occurred during the load
are undone.

Had thought that they won't be recognized as part of the feature
until the entire file is loaded.

That's correct. `require' loads the entire library/file.
If the load doesn't raise an error then everything in
the file is loaded. If it does raise an error then
nothing in the file is loaded.
The granularity of a feature (or a subfeature) is a file,
nothing smaller, because the granularity of loading is a
file, nothing smaller. (Loading can load multiple files,
of course.)
Read the doc I pointed you to, if you haven't already.
The first sentence tells you that "`provide' and
`require' are for loading files".
