Yes, I think they're made one for each 100 patches. If you download them you will have to download "excess" patches, too. For example, after the "bunch" for patches 201-300, new patches will be published (301, 302, etc.) but won't be in a new "bunch" (301-400) until patch 400 is published, and it can be a long time... So you want to download the "bunches" and any additional patch published after the "bunch" if you want your Vim to be up-to-date.
