I made a 36 pages "book" with a lot of photos, and the only reason for 
me to split up the project were the long loading times. An experimental 
concatenating of the four files to a single one didn't bring up any 
problems. During file load, I could watch it eating up RAM. But it 
loaded flawlessly, and working on the project was as fast as with 4 pages.
