I agree with the "size is arbitrary" view. My beef is that large files tend to collect multiple sets of application work. On a project with multiple developers, it becomes difficult to manage everyone pounding on the same source code. True, today's version control systems make it easier to merge, but my preference is break up the processing logically (into separate files) which aids in tracking changes through the system.
