I prefer more files over longer files. Its easier to merge. The syntax colorizer and other editor tools (and partial builds) are faster.

This seems like tool issue. There are editors which can be really fast (something native instead of electron based). There are projects like tree sitter which can help here.

Bigger number of file require context switch when jumping between files while reading files.

A kinda focus mode

Nice idea)

I didn't even thing about the colorizer since I'm using a B/W color-scheme. But yes, usually it's not a problem even with VSCode. Only when opening compiled/minified files by accident.
