Hi Sverre,
I know this is a bit OT, but if you're talking about Campaign Cartographer, my advice would be to work with the size of map you need right now. It's always a temptation to have a humongous master map and zoom in and in on that map till you get to the area you want, but IMHO it generally leads to a huge, unwieldy, and rather unaesthetic document!
I find in my own mapmaking it's much better to have dedicated purpose-driven maps, each in their own "sandbox". That way too you can tinker with the aesthetics to fit the scale of map - different projections, etc. Once you get a certain amount of experience with CC, it's actually easier to run up a new coastline / river set / whatever, than to try to have to manage a map which is meant to be viewable at widely different levels of zoom.
All IMHO of course - your mileage will definitely vary! Happy mapping!
Cheers,
Sarah
