When making mods and creating FPK files in PakBuild, is there a "maximum safe size" for stability issues and what/not concerning pak'd files?

I've seen several modders make multiple FPK files instead of one large one... is there a reason for that?

Is there a maximum 'safe' file size? If so, what is it?

Any answers to these questions appreciated.

I think they break them up just for conveinance. That way if you add a uu for a particular civ you only have to rebuild that pak file. I havent seen anythin that implied that there was a performance constain from size.

I appreciate the answer... wasn't sure if anybody knew or would answer, but I thank you.

Was beginning to worry I might be approaching a barrier with one huge FPK file... but I guess not.
