publications - Many short papers or one big paper for a math postdoc?


As the title says, I am a math postdoc. I am working on a project, which I expect will result in a long paper (60-100+ pages, I am not really sure yet). As I work along the way, I am getting results, which are probably interesting on their own.


I wonder if it would look bad on my resume if I will have many short papers (say, of less then 10-15 pages)? or having many papers at this stage of the career is good for me?


Should I balance between these two approaches? What are you thoughts on this, assuming I am interested in getting a tenure track position at a research university?
