I don't place a "lines limit" on files - heck, I don't count lines or use line numbers anyway - but I do modularize code as much as possible: For a complex form, that means using UserControls instead of "raw controls" to group together related items and separate concerns; using TabPages to simplify displays (and each page generally contains just a Usercontrol); that kinda thing.
That reduces the complexity of each individual system, adds reusability, and improves maintenance.

A single large form is generally a mistake: it leads to spaghetti, and to overwhelmed users - too much data in a single place makes code very hard to use.
