There are folk that still believe they need to create/edit a book as a single (internal) monolithic file.
That is untrue. Sigil (and other book editors) are designed to work with the pieces of the whole. Just look at the Search and Replace scope (setting).

Rearrangements are simple:
Split out the piece, drag it to its new order (split that file if needed to insert other than end). Merge the sections (use the Book browser for this).

FWIW I started with a reader that 260K was the 'page' limit. That included Images and fonts. The book could be bigger (<2M file system limit)
