Have you tried to use wizard control??

I would recommend moving fields to different forms (logical grouping) from usability perspective. This way the the performance also would be better.

Possible? Easily.

Practical? That depends on your requirements and business rules, not an outside opinion where we know nothing about your project.

It is up to your requirements, but it is possible to have 100 fields in one table. In fact if you use multiple tables say e.g. 4 tables with 25 columns each with foreign key reference, while fetching data from all these 4 tables will be a performance hit (as you would use joins). If you use single table you can simply fetch all the data at once and use it based with your logical grouping in front-end.
