We do it the same way in KOffice, and it has never caused any problem (except 
one when there was a bug in kdelibs causing Krita appearing multiple time in 
the kmenu, but this is fixed now ;) ). And I also see an other reason to have 
multiple .desktop files instead of a big one, imagine that one of 
the "official" back-end is disabled (not build because the lack of a 
dependency for instance), with one single desktop, the file is still 
associated with okular which can't open them, which is likely to confuse the 
user.
