As far as why you don't want a big land province, it's because of the mobility advantage it gives; instead of being a hindrance to travel, that big waste province would now become a superhighway.

Considering the province separations are made on todays borders and seem quite arbitrary to me and not linked to the underlying geography, I feel nonplused by this argument. Why cut England from Scotland and not England from Wales for instance?
In particular, the argument is moot if you look at Arabia: Merge all the peninsula in one province doesn't change its connectivity much because there's already a huge province which goes from least to west.
