There is some justification for that approach. In KFX the cover and text of the book is delivered first and then other images are delivered as separate files of about 3 MB each. That allows the book to be opened and read while it is still downloading. For some books it can make a noticable difference in the time you need to wait to start reading if you have a slow internet connection.
Also, by splitting out the part of the DRM that is individual to each customer into a separate, small voucher file thay are able to make the rest of the files identical for all users. That is not true of the other Kindle formats.
