My opinion is that the consumer of the widget should wire up any signals it
cares about on those widgets, to slots it knows about. So if your UI is
composed of a bunch of internal widgets which are not part of the public
interface then it should connect those up itself. Then the UI can expose
its own top level signals for things that a consume of that UI class should
have access to.
In another class consuming the UI, it would make use of the top level
signals or signals of any of the documented public child widgets of the
class.

A module should consist of logic that shares the same purpose. If all of
the content in that file, which shares the same purpose, makes the file
larger than you feel is manageable, then an option is to turn the single
file module into a package, and split the content into modules of that
package.
So if you have something like:
database.py
And the User and Project content within that module become too large. You
can split it into something like this:
database/
__init__.py
user.py
project.py
And you could even import those two modules into your __init__.py so that
the database package behaves like it did before.
