You can set a min modulo on a dynamic file when you build it (or rebuild it). In theory, this will reduce the splitting until you hit that min modulo. This does of course assume your files hash fairly evenly, etc, etc.
However, if you purge the file, it will still take up all that space based on the min mod.

So, if you add a large number of records to a file that's properly sized, it will (potentially) split multiple times as you go along. If I know in advance that I'm adding a large number of records to a file, is there any way to force the file to "grow" in advance? If it were a static file, I'd simply resize it to a new guesstimated modulo. Since it's dynamic, I don't see any way to do this other than to convert it to back to a static file, then resize it to a dynamic file with a minium modulus. It seems as though there must be a better way...
