Default Separate documents v large single document

I have heard it said that it is often better to create many single documents
rather than try to deal with a single, long one. For example, if creating a
thesis or a manual which contains many diagrams etc it would be better to
create different chapters as single documents, then create a table of
contents spanning the whole set.

I understand this is something to do with the stability of the document and
that there is less chance of a document corrupting in this way.

What is the general opinion of the MVPs on this matter?
