   Hi
   
   In my POV the user should control the in-memory size of the datasets since 
the reason to separate the data set is to control the memory consumption of 
distributed data-consuming systems (like Spark, Presto, etc...).
   Moreover, the size of the final file of the data set depends on:
   number of columns * column type (int8/16/32, string, float... )* number of 
lines * compression.
   
   I can't see any benefit of controlling the number of the lines (besides the 
effect on the file size)
