Actually, most of the LIT ebooks I have looked at do make each chapter a separate file. This isn't really much harder to create than one huge file. Also, for ebook display purposes, separate files do make more sense.
In my reading of the OPS spec, they do recommend using separate files, since that is how they will show up in the TOC. Also, with separate files, you can do things with the reading order.
