I never thought about scoring each rule as a 0.001 or something really low
then tying them all together with meta-rules.

Best practice is to define them as __SUBRULES, which don't score at all, and then tie those together in metas.

The only reason to make a scoring rule with an intentional score of 0.001 is if you want it to appear in the list of rules hit that's added to the message headers. __SUBRULES don't appear in that list.
