Please note that splitting up files leads to longer recompiles (ok,
not when only one of the two changed, but I mean when building it all
or when a header changes etc.). That's the whole reason for --enable-final.

But on the other hand, the file size has to be humanly manageable,
splitting it if it becomes really too huge makes sense. Usually to be
done to split classes away from each other though, rarely to split
methods for the same class (because it becomes hard to find the
right file immediately then).

Just 0.2 euros from a non-kspread developer.
