Should I delete those links before publishing the book, or are the readers smart enough not to bother reloading the CSS 57 times?
Having link to the main CSS stylesheet and any other CSS stylesheets from every xhtml file they apply to is pretty standard behaviour. How else is the renderer going to know which CSS to apply to the file?

I'm not sure why you would be editing separate files stored outside the epub .zip container. Even if I use a external editor, it is called from within Sigil using the setting under General/Basics/Set your preferred external xhtml editor.
