Break it up into an many pieces as you need.
We set up levels for basement, ground floor and roof. So when I need to model stuff, I place my objects in realtion to each level ie z elevation of my footings in -4'-0"
you could also break up exterior walls from interior wall. Assuming your on 2005 or above, the walls should clean up with the x-refs that are being added to each construct to make up your view files.
Hope this helps.
