I find it harder to keep things organized cleanly as they get larger.

Having one big header file also hides the modularity.  You can't even find the 
modules that use a specific module by grepping for #include foo.h

It would be interesting to see how lump vs split on header files effects the 
time for somebody to work on code, both when they are a seasoned developer as 
well as a newbie.
