If you are a single developer, sure, knock yourself out, and stick everything in a single file.

If you actually ever plan on ever having other developers contribute to and maintain your code, or god forbid multiple teams of developers, you better have things structured in a way that they can understand.

I had to dig into a niche TLS library a few months ago and was aghast at the 50000 line source files with massive God functions all over the place. I don't know how it ever was allowed to get that fubared or how they maintain it all.

SSL/TLS are godawful messes of standards, they are insanely complex to implement which is part of why they have had so many bugs turn up in recent years.
