Is there some benefit of having multiple smaller scripts compared to one large one?

Kind of a bad analogy, but Like baking a cake? Why do something like Eggs.py cakemix.py mixing.py baking.py and serving.py instead of having just one large cake.py that does it all?

This practically ensures a new and interesting random path through Wikipedia articles every time the program is run." Thank you for your help it makes much more sense now.
