Reasons to go with one member = one service program: sharing global (ugh)
data and "internal" subprocedures, ability to locate all related functions
easily and the ability to save/restore all the source required to re-build
your service program in one operation.

Reasons to go with one member = one subprocedure: enforces mental discipline
and more granularity (you can use PROCA in another service program).

Personally, I'd go with putting all the subprocedures into one member.
