But very long manpages are harder to read and take much longer to
format. Also, fully opening MPlayer's HTML manpage (another monolithic
.1) takes like 3 minutes on my slow internet. IMO having ffmpeg(1) refer
to the categorized manpages would work better.

Talking about that, what would be the category of the split manpages?
IIRC they shouldn't be man1 since they're not program / command names.
