Single page vs. multiple pages (epub creation)

I'm trying to create an epub. The original source of the text is a PDF, but I downloaded an "epub" version generated by archive.org.

Unfortunately, the generated epub is far from perfect! The content is not split where it should be, etc. So I'm trying to clean everything up and create the final epub myself.

I have already read about epub format and I have successfully created one. But I still have one question.

In the process of collecting all the original text (I am a developer so I created some code for this), I ended up with a single large piece of text. I could split the text into multiple pages, but I'm wondering if this is really useful?

Can't I just have one big "content.html" file, with "id" attributes on some "<p>" elements so that the "toc.ncx" can point to them? Are there advantages to actually splitting the content into several separate files instead of a big one?
