I think this is discussed in ValentinaKernel.pdf and may be FAQ.

More info for you.

Separate .vdb file -- that have description of tables,
Allow you easy copy it on new computer, open, and Valentina will create all
rest files. 

Separate index file Richard have explain.

Separate blob file from data file, was important when Valentina have had 2GB
limit. So this did allow have more data. Now Valentina has no limit. So may
be no big benefit here. Only if put on other HDD.

Yes, for 2.0 I want to allow to be different Valentina files located on
different volumes. At least by aliases.

Some guys (MacOS based) love do database all in one file.

So this choice is up to you.
