It depends on what you are doing. The preview-latex system
<URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/preview-latex> turns each
embedded math construct into one page in a PDF or DVI file and papers
written by father (Theoretical Physics) routinely take 1000+ of those.
LilyPond's documentation uses a similar mechanism though with separate
file name bases. If it wanted to employ GhostScript on multiple images
in a single run (and that significantly cuts down on execution time), it
would likely need to route this through a single file name as well.
So at any rate, a 1000+ page document does not need to consist of just a
single \score. %d is a simple format supported by basically all tools
that allow for autogenerated file names. Stuff like %03d is much more
tricky.
