   Are you using Oracle's partitioning option? Worth a thought for something this large. If you are going to put all datafiles on the same device, I don't think it matters. Personally I'd go for fewer, larger files just so there is less typing, therefore less chance of error.

1. 200 2GB datafiles
2. 100 4GB datafiles
3. 50 8GB datafiles
4. 25 16GB datafiles
