Thanks. I don't have the second edition; I wonder what the context of
that advice is? Perhaps he's speaking only of C++ or Java.

Certainly I'd expect the author to reconsider that advice for
languages (such as Python) where classes are routinely quite small and
there are no technical barriers to grouping multiple classes in a
file.
