AFAICS, the only advantage of writing separate .oct files would be the 
possibility
of calling those functions within the Octave interpreter.

If this possibility is not of interest to you as you are only going to 
use the smaller functions within your larger C++ code I see no reason to 
build multiple .oct files.
