This is useful when you have tons of data and at least a couple of people interested, this is not the case in many of the imports so perhaps you don't have to always suggest the same approach :) Additionally splitting the data in smaller files creates more work with joining the nodes at the boundaries. In my experience 20MB of roads data is an amount that a single person can go through in detail in between 1 and 2 weeks time, assuming there's already pre-existing data in OSM which needs to be deduplicated / decided on which version to keep, and roads junctions fixed before the final upload.
