By default, makeinfo will split large output files into smaller
subfiles. Although this doesn't currently happen for any package,
it might happen in future, and it would break some assumptions.

The threshold for splitting is 300 kB, and we have at least three
packages with larger info files. The reason they don't break is that
they use the upstream Makefile rather than the eclass function.
