Any advantages in multiple smaller maps?

[kiwiwannafly]

Thanks to the existence of this forum I have an ancient Rider 2nd Ed running Navcore 9.5 with a boot loader that allows my rock to recognise a 32GB SD card.

I'm heading from Europe to Africa shortly and trying to anticipate a bunch of 'what if?' situations.
Question is: is there any advantage to downloading a number of smaller area maps (eg Benelux, France, Iberia) over a larger map of Europe?
Ditto Morocco, East, West, Middle, Southern, South Africa vs the big Africa?
Once on the road my opportunities for updating/modifying/routing etc will be limited. I'm thinking stuff like 'if a big map file gets corrupted am I stuffed? Or would a number of smaller maps be logistically safer?'

Are there downsides to having such a large map loaded/running?

Appreciate any thoughts.
