It probably wouldn't be too hard to automatically break "large" layers
into several small layers.  It's also not hard for people with very
large layers that care about parallel execution time to break them up
themselves.  I'm not opposed to automatic layer segmentation (as long as
it's implemented well), but also don't think it's all that important.
