As a chem professor who writes a take-home final every quarter, the multiple part questions are usually to make the questions easier (at least on my exams). The multiple parts generally build on themselves and are sort of guiding the students through the overall question, and if I write it to be a "single question," students still have to do those same steps, but they have to figure out what those steps are and do that same work without being prompted.
