Thanks to everyone for their help so far I'm inclined to treat a physical piece of paper as a source in its own right and to treat a database of related data as a single source. Seems logical that way. So, certificates are split and indices are lumped.
One thing is puzzling me, though. With the source writer if I create a new source "Birth Records > Birth Certificate > England > Birth Certificate from the GRO > Basic Format" then the detail asks for information which is not on the actual certificate (registration volume and page no)and for a marriage cert it also asks for the registration sub district which isn't there either. Now I can go hunt that down. After all, I needed it to order the cert, but surely it isn't correct to record information that isn't on the source?
