I have a class which holds a connection to a server and a bunch of

In this class I have methods that need to work with that connection
and services.
Right now there are about 50 methods some of which can be quite long.
From an organizational standpoint, I'd like to have method
implementations in their own files.
Is this possible? It is recommended? Should I just stop worrying
about it and have a 5,000 line class?
It is pretty easy to do, as python allows multiple inheritance. Just
group together methods into a class, and create one that inherits from all.
However, I'd say something that even splitted up is essentially one
class with 5000 lines cries for a huge refactoring. Of course this
depends on the use-case, but I for once don't have a single such beast.
Looks like a god-object to me...
