What people have done here in the past is just send a big patch series
1..N, with "patch" 0/N explaining the overview to any potential readers.
Sometimes folks also post the mega-patch as well.

I think this has worked pretty well in practice.

I also think it is ok if one patch is a lot bigger than the others.  It
doesn't always make sense to try to split things up too much, it just
depends on the problem.
