I doubt it. It's such a pain point already that massively increasing
the amount of data we need to store does not seem like a good plan.

I don't think that's really the issue. It's more that I think it
would be the extra data would be likely to cause real pain for users.
FWIW, I tend to think that the solution here has less to do with
splitting the data up into more files and more to do with rethinking
the format.
