Hi Michael,
I thought I would switch to e-mail for this and not bother the entire
list.
FAQs can be any size you like. A useful rule-of-thumb is 64 KBytes.
This rule exists because in the past some e-mail systems limited
messages to this size. I doubt they do so today, but the rule is
still useful just in case.
Also, a rule of 64 KBytes takes into consideration the poor saps who
have to download and read the FAQs. If they get much larger than this
they take far too long to download and use up too much disk space.
If you choose to split your FAQ into parts, the guidelines explain
the procedure (I have not done this). People suggest that you split
it into more parts than you immediately need as the procedure is
unwieldy and you do not want to go through it too often.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Martin
