An easy workaround would be to create child Features under your main Feature to split the components up into smaller chunks without affecting the functionality. If your components are within separate Fragments you could consider creating FeatureGroups containing the Components in each Fragment & referencing them appropriately in you main Feature Element.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How to resolve WiX Warning: "Too Many Componentswithin Feature" ? Are you planning to support installation on Win9x systems? If so, then yes you should address this warning. However if you're not planning to support Win9x systems you can safely ignore this limitation. See also the documentation on ICE47 - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368976(VS.85).aspx and the '-sice' switch for light if you wish to prevent this particular warning appearing.
