260kb is the Calibre default:

Split all HTML files larger than this size (in KB). This is necessary as most EPUB readers cannot handle large file sizes. The default of 260KB is the size required for Adobe Digital Editions. Set to 0 to disable size based splitting.

So at one time, it was common.

1 in 20k may be an exaggeration--I can find 3 stories in my library of 6600 with chapters larger than that. But that's because chapters that long are remarkable and I remembered them. I expect 1 in 1-2k is probably about right.
How old is your reader? Do newer readers do better I wonder?
