<p>The example question is well phrased: "Here's a list ... I'm looking for feedback."  Even so, the list is a little long (an equation is worth a thousand words, right? ;-) and long questions can reduce viewership and intimidate people who might otherwise be interested and qualified to answer.</p>

<p>It would be in the questioner's interest to separate a multipart question whenever </p>

<ul>
<li>The parts are not closely related <em>or</em></li>
<li>Each part requires a separate explanation <em>or</em></li>
<li>The parts are lengthy to state <em>or</em></li>
<li>The parts are highly technical <em>or</em></li>
<li>The answers to the parts are unlikely to build on or refer to each other <em>or</em></li>
<li>There isn't much overhead needed to introduce the series of questions <em>or</em></li>
<li>Two or more parts are likely to require lengthy responses <em>or</em></li>
<li>Two or more parts might generate a long series of comments that are unrelated to each other <em>or</em></li>
<li>Properly tagging all the parts would exceed the limit (currently 5) for the number of tags.</li>
</ul>

<p>Note that by means of links and tags it is easy to create a trail backwards (and, retroactively, forwards) through a related series of questions.</p>
