Depends on the size of the team working with those templates.
If you are just one person it might be ok but still you will run into
trouble if you have to find specific bug.

If there are more people working at the same site the problem is: Last one
who saves wins.

So usually its better to split up the template into smaller chunks and put
them together in a master template using "include basis template".

In the master template you will have something like:

page = PAGE
page {
    10 = TEMPLATE
    10 {
        blah
        marks {
            menu < temp.menu
            content < temp.content
            footer < temp.footer
        }
    }
}

And then there will be 3 other templates for each of the marks:

temp.menu = COA
temp.menu {
    10 = HMENU
    10 {
        blah
    }
}

and so on ...

got the point?
