The initial replication of a document with a very large number of attachments can be expensive -- it's an all-or-nothing affair. After that when you update a single attachment on the doc the replicator is smart enough to just transfer that attachment.
Considering only the replicator's perspective I think you'll have a better experience by attaching each binary to a separate document.
