I think that if you want to put a challenge in the middle of a lesson, your lesson is telling you that it wants you to split it in half. "Spliiiiit meee.... split me heeeerrre...."

I agree with Azalee. There needs to be some standard challenges included within the lessons because (a) that will help instructors who just want to pick up the notes and run with them, and (b) some of concepts in the lessons are taught via challenge as opposed to lecture / live coding. Those challenges have to appear at the correct place within the lesson or else the whole thing doesn't work. If we adopt the approach of putting all the lessons at the end then we are taking away challenges as a tool for teaching new concepts and restricting ourselves to only using challenges as a tool for practice and consolidation.
