In most cases a chunked layout has no countervailing benefits. Even interfaces which go with separate channels aren't such a good reason to offer a chunking option because were probably designed with some other application (like interactive gaming or offloading processing load onto a peripheral) in mind, or might simply be badly engineered (j...
