I tend to agree. The issue of whether to use a single field or not rests solely on the degree of inter-dependence of the file contents, not some kind of subjective idea of maximum lines of code. There are source files that are too long at 10 lines (containing multiple disjointed functions) and there are source files that are correctly single-file at 20KLOC (strong inter-dependence). So it depends on the nature of the file contents.
