For a feed of the size in the videoplayer sample app, it would probably make sense to have just one .xml file that contained all the nodes for every category.

Very large feeds are expensive to download, take up a lot of memory on the box and take a long time to parse. That's why we encourage breaking up your feeds.
That said, you can always change the way the sample app is parsing the feeds if you want to combine them into one feed for you application. Just change the feed parsing code in categoryFeed.brs and showFeed.brs
