Yes, especially if it is all work by one person (maybe integrating someone
else's patch) one patch is best.

10 small patches)?

I agree with Martin that this ticket and its patches is already large
enough. Followup patches are the way to go. Just imagine someone reading
this ticket from top to bottom - I don't think any additional work should
be done here.
In the end it is also important to make clear which patches to apply in
which order and who gets credit for authorship.
Cheers,
Michael
