I don't think so, but what do others think? I too am curious about a recommended or best practice. I create a function file that contains numerous functions for generating forms that are used more than once in a site and it becomes large when the forms are complex. But the alternative is to bloat the individual files by including the function code on each page that uses it. Or, if you split the one, large file into some number of smaller files, it increases the administrative burden of knowing what is in each smaller file and requiring the correct sub-file in the right context rather than routinely requiring the one catch-all file every time one or more function is needed.
