Best practice model building

Currently looking at additional use cases for Anaplan, including using for a 5 year planning horizon, rather than the current 24 month one. Question has come up around level of detail that wish to plant at and hence the impact on model size and looking for tips in terms of best practice when building out model

Example, some of the lists that are to be referenced have number of members such as below:

Reporting Segments - 108

Sub Regions - 18

Product Groups 62

Is it best to build out model using more modules and reference subsets of these lists, rather than whole lists and make model sparse unnecessarily?

Getting similar requests on creating module for reporting purposes that has all main dimensions in, which essentially creates a huge cell count of 1.6bn!
