Gosh, I never understood this, but it makes sense. Thanks!

Then, should darcs split up the initial patch by file automatically, to 
preserve maximum flexibility and efficiency ?

And if so, why should it not do this for every patch ?

I think there must be some difference between the initial case and later 
patches which explains why  we wouldn't want to do this every time. I 
guess it is that we want normal patches to stay atomic to communicate 
their meaning, but for the initial patch we don't care.
