Well with the minimum amount files resonates to me as that huge files of code that do not separate concerns and actions.
I am not really a fan of one file to handle all the actions one a resource, but this is often the case, but what pisses the heck of me is when the files goes to the thousands of lines and deals with many resources… it’s just a nightmare and a sink hole of our time 
But probably the minimum amount of files you are referring to are not related with the code for the project itself?
