I would personally say having more files is less complex and far easier to manage and I have been of that opinion for a long time since I worked with monolithic files (I once thought that was a good idea too). There are of course some caveats to that, The more files approach would have to actually be to aid others than just yourself. The files would need to be aptly named as would the functions in order to make them less complex and easier to use, you have to assume that another developer would have no clue how your app worked. Having tons of files with meaningless names is no better than 1 huge file really, it all needs to be blatantly obvious to a newcomer, which is where I feel a lot of the frameworks fall down as well. I have worked with some big apps where every file, function name and variable meant nothing to anyone except the guy who wrote it, and even that is debatable.
