In the tutorial, it says: "In general, you should restrict yourself to a
single file per component"

What this means is that you (in general) should only have one of your files
per installer component, so you typically put exe, .dll, .ocx, .chm, or .hlp
files in separate components. The final msi will look the same if you have
one or thirty WIX files with one component each. 

As one that is currently making the transition from Installshield to WIX, I
would recommend the book "WiX: A Developer's Guide to Windows Installer XML"
(you can get it as an eBook).
